Summary

An Amazon Charts best seller.

Emma's darkest secrets are buried in the past. But the truth can't stay hidden for long.

Emma is a loving wife, a devoted mother...and an involuntary killer. For years she's been hiding the dead body of the teacher who seduced her as a teen.

It's a secret that might have stayed buried if only her life had been less perfect. A promotion for Emma's husband, Alex, means they can finally move to a bigger home with their young son. But with a buyer lined up for their old house, Emma can't leave without destroying every last trace of her final revenge....

Returning to the shallow grave in the garden, she finds it empty. The body is gone.

Panicked, Emma confesses to her husband. But this is only the beginning. Soon, Alex will discover things about her he'll wish he'd learned sooner. And others he'll long to forget.

Terrible!

The story was predictable, unrealistic and none of the characters were likeable or relatable. The constant mention of the eating disorder was poorly represented l. The narrators made every word sound like was a cliff hanger. sorry!

Dull.

Can’t understand anyone giving this book 4/5 - it was very slow, dull and predictable. I found the characters, particularly the main one, Emma, to be whiney and rather pathetic - I quickly decided I didn’t care what happened to her! I persevered to the end, but was glad when it was over. The storyline was weak, and the narration boring.

Tedious and Banal

I could not get past the first quarter of this book; it sounded like something from a teenage magazine.

Here lies MADNESS!? Murder, mayhem, mystery and...

SILENT VICTIM.

With short, make that very short, chapters it's got a pace of it's own. Couple that with the fact that it's in a diary format (leaping forwards and backwards) it sounds very confusing. It's not!!!

You soon get into the swing of this book/audiobook and find yourself trying to work out who did what, when and where. You'll be guessing until the end.

All in all a book to indulge yourself in. I'd highly recommend SILENT VICTIM to fans of murder mysteries. It's like an Alfred Hitchcock film in book/audiobook form.

Good listen

I enjoyed this book, and unlike a lot I read I didn’t guess the twist until the very end. Good narration as well. I would read / listen to another from this author

INTRIGUING THEN BECAME AS IMPLAUSIBLE AS A UNICORN

It was a great premise ..... then enter a rather wimpy woman, stereotypical dull but dedicated head of the house husband, moustache twirling love rat rotter ....... all ok and good narration ..... then enter a very superfluous eating disorder which was a completely unwelcome addition to the story ... a rather bizarre childhood revealed... a few good twists and turns as you are presented with two alternative viewpoints to the backstory and ponder on what really did happen ... then the story seems to run away with itself so much so as a few passing unicorns would not seem out of place as the story became more and more far fetched.
I did enjoy it - to a point, once I suspended all disbelief. I did not enjoy the pointless addition of an eating disorder or hearing about the protagonist being constantly hungry on top of all her other problems. I did not guess what was going on as indeed it was hard to keep up with all the past and present shenanigans in play.
I did think it was well written, but could have done with a more realistic plot, more likeable, interesting and believable characters and while I love a good twisting turning thriller this was more of a mishmash of more and more unlikely events as we wandered further and further from credibility. I gave the narrators 4 stars as the characters they played were at times so much like cardboard cut outs of perplexed victims,wicked villains and depthless walk-on extras there was not really the range or material for any actor to give a 5 star performance.
To sum up - sadly so much better than the average dreary domestic mystery of which there are so many but not a solid 5 star thriller which totally ensconced me and that I could not wait to dive into like Magpie Murders; The Death of Mrs Westaway, Something in the Water; Everything is Lies; Close to Home; I am Watching You; Let Me Lie; Sweet Little Lies; My Little Eye, The Guilty Wife; The Friend; I know my Name; The Disappearance of Audrey Wilde; The Blue, The Word is Murder; Lies; The Brighton Mermaid; Watching You; Then She was Gone; Dear Amy; The Mariage Lie; Lie with Me; The Sudden Disappearance of the Frasers, Our House, Without a Word, The Other Couple, Rebound; Local Girl Missing, Behind Her Eyes, The Widow, Blink, Her Perfect Life; The Girl Before, Exposure; The Marriage Pact or anything by Tana French, Jane Casey, Robert Galbreith, Ruth Ware, Sabine Durrant and Emily Barr especially Sleeper ...... to name but a few!
