Silent Child
By Midas / October 3, 2017 / 3 Comments / Audio Books
In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son’s red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year – a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned. His body was never recovered. Ten years later Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She’s married, pregnant, and in control again…until Aiden returns.
Too traumatised to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Where has he been? What happened to him on that rainy afternoon? And now that he’s back, whom can he trust?
At Audible we love listening to crime books. But every so often one comes along that we think is truly special. An Amazon Kindle number one best-seller, Sarah A. Denzil’s Silent Child is taking Audible HQ by storm. In an Audible Exclusive production, Joanne Froggatt (Mrs Bates, Downton Abbey) delivers a powerhouse performance that will keep you gripped until the very last second.

Eh The book started out pretty strong with a compelling story line. However, about half way through the book it started becoming very obvious who the bad guys were. The climax had me rolling my eyes – the writing was over wrought. It was a quick read.
Another gripping psychological thriller. Good Read. This book has all the things needed for a truly good psychological suspense: Child in danger. Bereaved mother. Multiple suspects. And especially a secret. I stayed up until 3am reading because I just Had.To.Know if I was right in my prediction of the big reveal.I was wrong.While I hate being wrong most times, with books, that’s a good thing. Five Stars for sure.
Don’t shy away from this because of the subject matter–this is a very ‘clean’ thriller If you’ve hesitated on this one because of the subject matter, that it may be too dark, or graphic or too many uncomfortable details shared…..you don’t have to worry. This is one of the ‘cleanest’ thrillers I’ve read. Clean in the sense that the author doesn’t go into any detail about the abuse that Aiden suffered. All we know is that bad things happened and that’s scary enough. I hesitated to read this for these reasons. I love a good thriller, but didn’t really want to read anything…
