The Silent Woman

De: Minka Kent

Narrado por: Christine Lakin, Kate Rudd

Newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architect—only there’s one caveat: behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretaker’s cottage … lives Wells’s first wife, Sylvie.

Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered a nervous breakdown—and hasn’t uttered a sound since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renown specialist has been able to elicit so much as a word from the silent woman … until now.

On an ordinary Tuesday while Wells was away—despite instructions to never disturb the fragile woman—Jade visited her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. Only she wasn’t expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled in shaky black ink.

That word? Run.

Ready to be on the edge of your seat?

This was an amazing listen. I was on the edge of my seat. screaming at the dramatic chapter ends in awe! I did not want to stop and now that it's over I'm sad.

Great book!

Intriguing and with many twists and turns! I couldn’t put it down once I started!

Not too bad!

Started off very “Verity”ish but got better and ended up a different story. Not my favorite of her books but still worth the listen.

Great story

I enjoyed this book until the ending. I listen to all books twice and I still only gave 4 stars.

The ending wrapped up too quickly for me. Real life is messy.

Reminisce of a life time drama.

I love the overall idea behind the book, it has a very captivating overview. I wish it was longer though. I wish there was more in-between. I wish they went more into depth on some things and events. it reminds me of a lifetime drama in the way that you're not provided much back story or aftermath, you are thrown straight into the peak of the drama and then it ends. like a lifetime drama it's predictable but you can't stop, it draws you in.
overall it's a great quick read if that's what you are looking for, I enjoyed it and I think my teen daughter will love it too!
