The Silent Daughter cover

A gripping psychological thriller about secrets, family ties, and the consequences of deceit, The Silent Daughter explores the darkness within relationships.

In an era dominated by digital footprints, the question arises: can one truly vanish? The disappearance of a person often goes unnoticed until it's too late, raising unsettling questions about our connections and the secrets we harbor. The Silent Daughter delves into these themes, unraveling a complex narrative that intertwines family ties with the darker aspects of human nature.

At the center of the story is Chris Morrison, who finds himself grappling with two devastating realities: his wife lies in a coma, and his daughter has gone missing. As he searches for answers, the unsettling possibility emerges that these two events may be linked in ways he could never have anticipated. The tension escalates as Chris uncovers hidden truths that threaten to shatter his family forever. In The Silent Daughter, secrets are not just burdens; they are catalysts for chaos.

This psychological thriller is packed with twists and turns, making it a perfect read for fans of authors like JP Delaney and C.L. Taylor. The narrative captures the essence of familial deceit and the profound impact of hidden truths. With its intricate plot and compelling characters, The Silent Daughter promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats, eager to unravel the mystery behind the Morrison family's turmoil.
