Part of the Silence by Debbie Howells

4.0

Evie Sherman wakes up in a Cornwall hospital after being severely beaten. Evie doesn't remember anything about the attach or her life, with the exception of her name and her daughter. Authorities are concerned because nobody has seen Evie's daughter. Charlotte Harrison, a high school friend of Evie's, comes forward to help, but it seems she has secrets of her own. Is Evie's daughter in danger or does she even exist?

"Part of the Silence" is by the author "The Bones of You" and "The Beauty of the End". Like those psychological thrillers is told from multiple points of view and flashbacks and is full of red herrings and twists. The theme of the book is loss and many of characters have experienced more than their share. Once I started the book, I didn't want to put it down until I knew the truth about Evie. Although I had my suspicions about one of the characters confirmed, I was still shocked by the final twists. I will leave it at that so I don't spoil any of the suspense, but I was thoroughly entertained by this solid thriller by Debbie Howells.

I received this book from NetGalley, through the courtesy of Kensington. The book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
