7.27.2019 - The Silent Ones

The Silent Ones

Many thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and K.L. Slater for the opportunity to read and review her latest psychological thriller.  A good read with twists I didn't see coming!

Two young cousins are accused of a horrible crime - brutally assaulting an elderly neighbor.  When they are brought in for questioning, they remain silent and won't answer any questions.  Their parents, sisters Chloe and Juliet, are beyond horrified and are sure that their daughters aren't responsible.  Until one confesses.  This crime rocks the small community they live in and everyone turns on the families and their business.  The worst part is the families are turning on themselves.  Chloe and her daughter still live with their parents.  This tragedy opens up wounds from their childhood when their youngest brother died.

Solving the mystery is just part of this book; the family dynamics is the real story.  A good lesson into how our past shapes us and how difficult it is to move forward and not inflict those same wounds onto the next generation.
