"David Tennant was a convincing evil, stalking fantasist... Plotwise, Secret Smile grabbed you by the lapels and dragged you along." – The Guardian
It’s all about control
What’s the worst that can happen when a new romance goes wrong – you end up with a broken heart and put it down to experience? Not when self-styled entrepreneur Brendan Block (David Tennant - Casanova, Blackpool, Doctor Who) is involved. He’s not a man to let go easily – as Miranda Cotton (Kate Ashfield - Shaun of the Dead, Do or Die) finds out in this love and revenge thriller based on the bestselling Nicci French novel. Miranda puts the brief fling behind her, but Brendan is not finished with her yet. Three weeks later, her younger sister Kerry excitedly reveals she has a new boyfriend – Brendan Block.
How far will Block go to get his revenge on Miranda? Convinced that Brendan is involved when people she loves begin turning up dead, Miranda realizes that the only way to beat her manipulative ex-lover is to turn the tables on him. Soon, she finds herself in a terrifying war of nerves with a master of the game. She has to prove he’s a killer and she’s prepared to risk her own life to do it.
