This morning, I was packing up lunches, ironing, putting on the laundry I should have done last night. Now my precious daughter is accused of murder.

When 10-year-old cousins Maddy and Brianna are arrested for a terrible crime, Maddy’s mother, Juliet, cannot believe it.

How could her bright, joyful daughter be capable of such a thing?

As the small village community recoils in horror, the pressure of the tragedy blows Juliet and her sister’s lives apart. And things get even worse when their daughters retreat into a self-imposed silence. Can anyone reach Maddy and discover the truth before her fate is sealed?

Juliet is crushed. Nothing will ever be the same for her darling girl. But she knows that to find out what really happened that day, she and her sister must unlock the secrets of their own terrible past, a past they swore never to speak about again.

The most unputdownable psychological thriller you’ll listen to this year from the best-selling author K. L. Slater. If you love The Wife Between Us or Gone Girl, you’ll be totally hooked on The Silent Ones.

This is by far one of the best books I’ve listened to. I did not expect all of the twist. Very much enjoyed this book.

I enjoy Slater’s books and the narrator Lucy Price-Lewis is always engaging. This one was a bit slow yet still engaging enough to listen on and find out answers that were lurching on each next page (so to speak.) Not as much intrigue and suspense as her other novels but it kept me interested from beginning to end.

Great narration with unexpected twists

New author for me and honestly had it not been free, I would never have chosen, simply because it was unknown! Some audio books, not with an “American accent” are hard to understand, not this one. It was fascinating and I look forward to more from the author. Twists and turns kept me enthralled! Thank you!

Awesome listen

I really loved this book. The narrator's voice acting was great. the story was well written and kept me listening. I didn't expect the twist at the end. I didn't think this book was at all predictable.

This was a nice surprise

This is the 3rd book I have listened to from this author. The writing style is the same, but the story lines are very different. I really enjoy them!

Very well written

I Did did struggle a bit to finish but I had to see what the finale would be. it was daunting early on to continually have two principal characters, the young women, so totally obstinate and unmoving in such a horrific situation! that was quite unbelievable! You finally discovered how that came about at the ending, thankfully. The narrator was quite good, no problems there for me, but I did pause a few times for a day or so just because I was so frustrated with the forward progress.

Had to finish!
