Description

’A fast-paced, gripping thriller.’ B A Paris, bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown

'Intense and brilliantly uncomfortable reading' Lisa Hall, bestselling author of Between You and Me

A happy child.

Every parent knows the world can be scary. Lawyer Jen Sutton knows it better than most. And she’ll go to any length to protect her son from what – and who – lies outside their front door.

A loving mother.

Some might say she’s being overprotective. But isn’t it a mother’s duty to protect her child from harm?

A family built on a lie.

Jen has kept her secrets safe. Until the postcard arrives, signed by the one person she hoped would never catch up with her… and her new case begins to feel a little too close to home.

One thing is clear: Jen has been found.

Now, she faces a choice. Run, and lose everything? Or fight – and risk her son discovering the truth.

Don’t Say a Word is the electrifying new psychological thriller from A.L. Bird – perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor and Sue Fortin.

This s a roller-coaster of a book! Full of secrets which slowly unfold keeping the reader on edge throughout.

The story revolves around Jen Sutton and her son Josh. It is fairly obvious from the very beginning that there is a back story - an event, or series of events. Revelations come throughout the book whilst the tale rattles on at a breakneck speed. All is explained by the final page - although it may not be the conclusion the reader either wants or expects. More than a few surprises lurk between the pages of this one.

This is the first novel by A. L. Bird which I have read, but she is certainly an author I shall look out for in the future. This is a very fast moving and plausible thriller with good characterisation - but a word of warning here, you may never, ever trust anyone again!

I received an arc via NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
