The Silent Child: An addictive crime thriller with a shocking twist
About this audiobook
A silent voice holds the key to a deadly truth.
When a body is discovered at an abandoned Suffolk farm, DS Rob Minshull and the squad believe it’s the latest casualty of the drugs war terrorising rural communities. But when the victim is identified as a well-respected local teacher, the case is thrown wide open.
While they hunt the murderer, the South Suffolk CID team face a new threat. A brutal vigilante group dispensing its own twisted justice puts the investigation in grave danger, as well as the detectives.
Meanwhile, educational psychologist, Dr Cora Lael, is called into work with Lottie Arundel, a troubled teen who stopped speaking a year ago.
As Cora enters Lottie’s world, it seems that the teen’s silence might hold the key to the case. But as Cora and Rob work together to find a vicious killer, it’s clear that uncovering Lottie’s secrets will take Cora and Rob into the most dangerous of places – where the price to pay for the truth might be death...
