About this ebook

Sophie wakes in a cold hospital bed with no memory of her life before. She isn’t even sure if Sophie is her real name… 

 

The police tell Sophie she was found alone, unconscious and surrounded by blood-red flower petals, on a remote stretch of highway. She had no I.D., no phone, and no one had reported her missing. But while Sophie’s identity is a mystery, one thing is clear: someone tried to kill her and they almost succeeded.

 

While she’s recovering, Sophie can’t shake the feeling someone is watching her. When a bouquet of red roses is sent to her room without a note, she is convinced they’re from the same people who left her for dead with crimson flowers woven through her hair…

 

With no one to turn to, Sophie takes a job working high in the mountains, miles from the nearest town, where she feels she might finally be safe. Until more red flowers begin appearing on the front step of her secluded cottage.

 

Every cell in Sophie’s body is telling her to run. But she is also desperate to know the truth about who she is. If she lets these people catch up with her, she could finally uncover her past… Or once again place her life in terrible danger…

 

A totally gripping psychological suspense novel that you won’t be able to put down and will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, The Woman in the Window and The Silent Patient.

Ooh, this was a fabulous mystery! My first thought was, how terrifying to wake up in hospital, unaware of how you got there and not knowing your own name. Sophie’s confusion was so well written, I felt as though I was taking this journey of exploration with her. There was the threat of whatever violence she’d been subjected to coming back for another go. That kept me whizzing through the book. I loved the settings. Dovemore was so atmospheric it gave me a shiver as Sophie was experiencing it. History oozed from its foundations and I lapped up the story of Zenaida which ran through the book. The same dwelling had at first felt like a safe haven but this soon took a more sinister turn. I never knew what to expect from it which kept me guessing. The town of Hazel Bluff felt like the perfect backdrop for the novel too. Nathaniel and Lincoln’s characters brought a lot to the story and as the Sophie got to know them, I began to feel like there was even more at stake for her as tensions rose. As the mystery began to unravel, the stakes upped and I had to know how things would end for Sophie. The ending was full on nail biting. If you love a solid mystery with a great big helping of threat, then The Silent Girl is a fab read for you! I couldn’t put it down.

This book is well written with very vivid descriptions that places you right next to 'Sophie' while everything is going on. The synopsis describes the book well. The storyline pulls you straight in with the first few chapters as Sophie wakes up in a hospital bed and questions who she is and how she ended up there. I did find it was quite a slow burner and you didn't see much 'action' for at least 50% of the book. However, I loved reading about the history of the estate she was staying and the mystery of what happened to its previous owner. I also enjoyed the environment of the estate and really felt it come to life. There are parts of the book that was filled with suspense and action although I found it more of a mystery myself. I was quite surprised when I discovered what had happened to her so extra points to Kelly Heard for that as its getting harder and harder to surprise me. The characters are all very unique, strong and also complex. Each of the three main characters definit

As you begin this book your thoughts are what happened to this girl, horrific injuries, and she is still alive. Blessedly, Sophie doesn’t know who she is or where she was, but those memories creep back, This read will keep you on the edge of your seat and not let you go. Who is watching? Why? As the facts unfold, we get a look into the life of a young girl, holding guilt and a brother that was there for her, or was he? If you like a book that grabs you and doesn’t want to let go, this one will be right up your alley! Enjoy! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher
