Every Secret Thing by Laura Lippman

Title: Every Secret Thing
Author: Laura Lipmman
Did I listen or read?: Nook
When did I finish?: March 20, 2016
When was the book published: 2004
Main Characters: Alice Manning and Ronnie Fuller, Cynthia Barnes, daughter of the judge.  Helen Manning. Nancy Porter (cop) and Sharon Kerpelman who defended Alice
What happens?  Alice and Ronnie are attending a birthday party as 11 year olds, get kicked out, and come across a baby outside a doorway on the way home.  They take the baby and keep it and kill it a few days later.  7 years later, they are both released from juvenile detention.  Another baby disappears.
How long was this? 410 pages
Did I like this?  It was pretty good, but the plot just jumped at the end and many things that many characters knew but didn't reveal are all revealed magically in the last 40 pages.  A good read overall, but a lot of characters that you don't like.
Overall grade: B
