Publisher's summary
There is no doubt that Yolanda Saldívar pulled the trigger and killed Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Pérez on March 31, 1995. But does anyone know what really happened in room 158 of the Days Inn moments before the crime took place?
María Celeste Arrarás has many answers, and her unrivaled coverage of the murder, trial, and aftermath made her the undisputed expert on the Selena case. Arrarás shares firsthand information about the crime and the people involved - including details of her headline-making jailhouse interview with Yolanda, who repeatedly spoke of “Selena’s secret” - a powerful hidden piece of information that she refused to divulge in the courtroom but revealed to Arrarás at length.
Many questions were raised, and not all were answered until this revealing interview shed light on the crime. Why was there a suitcase filled with Selena’s clothes at the murder scene? What was the significance of the jeweled ring, adorned with the initial S, that fell from Selena’s bloody fist? Who was the doctor from Monterrey who called himself Selena’s confidant and business adviser?
Selena’s Secret fits together the pieces of this puzzle and depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March.

He came. He saw. He conquered. Julius Caesar was a force to be reckoned with as a savvy politician, an impressive orator, and a brave soldier. Born in Rome in 100 BC, he quickly climbed the ladder of Roman politics, making allies - and enemies - along the way. His victories in battle awarded him the support of the people, but flush from power, he named himself dictator for life. The good times, however, would not last much longer. On the Ides of March, Caesar was brutally assassinated by a group of senators determined to end his tyranny, bringing his reign to an end.

Story
On September 15, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, was bombed, killing four young girls. Who were the perpetrators? Due to reluctant witnesses and racial prejudice, the FBI closed the case without any indictments. But as Martin Luther King, Jr., claimed, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Bending Toward Justice is a detailed account of this key moment in our national struggle for equality and the long road to prosecuting those responsible for the tragedy, related by an author who played a major role in the investigation.

A different point of view.
Selena’s Secret was written from the reporter Maria’s experience during the time of Selena fighting for her life from a fatal gunshot wound, the heartbreaking news, when Yolanda locking herself in her truck with her gun, the trial, and on.
I read that other reader’s did not like how Maria sided with Yolanda in this book, but after listening to it myself.. it was clear that Maria did her journalistic duty by remaining as neutral as possible to uncover and report this sad time in our Latin community.
Maria definitely left it in a way that you can still form your own opinion about the matter. Which for most of us.. it is if we dislike Yolanda and/or believe she is guilty. (For me? Yes and YES!)
She remained respectful of the Quintanilla AND Saldívar family. Which I admired because regardless.. these are real families dealing with real heartache. One is forever missing a daughter, sister, and wife. The other is dealing with the public shame a daughter and sister has done.. they might miss having that person in their day to day as well.
Maria did a great job not breaking the “off the record” code with this book. She does not tarnish Selena’s legacy either. Maria even reminds us that we are all human and have made mistakes. Especially being that young. Which I completely agree! 110%
I recommend this book for those who love Selena and want to know about her life.
The only kind of negative thing I can say is that Maria repeats information word to word. It doesn’t happen a lot though. I think I caught it twice. Each time was only a sentence or two. So, it’s not too bad. Just something I noticed.
Overall? Good book that gives you a different perspective during that time.

The narrated to perfection, Maria takes us on a very real journey; almost going back in time, Maria takes you right back to 1995. Her accent is authentic and her words are real. You will certainly enjoy this delightful and informative book.

Worth the read
I’m not sure the reviews are so low for this book. I found Maria’s writing very interesting and informative. She explained Selena’s story from two different perspectives. Great book!

I give it 3 stars
This book was just ok. There is no big secret revealed and for true Selena Fans , there isn’t anything new in this book.
You see more Yolanda’s side/view which we all know she’s full of lies and is straight up delusional.
The readers impressions of others is funny . Especially when she does Yolanda’s voice lol

I loved the story and the details. The title is misleading as the secret is never revealed.

the secret is still a secret
You only get bits and pieces. your never told completely what the secret is . It leaves you to come up with your own conclusion. It has good details about Selena and the trial. But beats around the bush on the secret
