“Leslie Kain delivers a suspensefully entertaining story about the relentless drive to preserve a family, no matter how troubled it may be … The tension begins cascading through the DiMasi home from their first harsh interactions and doesn’t relent until the final electrifying moments. … Deliberately unnerving and impressively intricate, Secrets In The Mirror is a successful psychological thriller that toes the fine line between sympathetic and terrifying.”
