Keep Quiet

New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award winning author Lisa Scottoline is loved by millions of readers for her suspenseful novels about family and justice.

Scottoline delivers once again with Keep Quiet, an emotionally gripping and complex story about one man's split-second decision to protect his son - and the devastating consequences that follow. Jake Buckman's relationship with his sixteen-year-old son Ryan is not an easy one, so at the urging of his loving wife, Pam, Jake goes alone to pick up Ryan at their suburban movie theater. On the way home, Ryan asks to drive on a deserted road, and Jake sees it as a chance to make a connection. However, what starts as a father-son bonding opportunity instantly turns into a nightmare. Tragedy strikes, and with Ryan's entire future hanging in the balance, Jake is forced to make a split-second decision that plunges them both into a world of guilt and lies. Without ever meaning to, Jake and Ryan find themselves living under the crushing weight of their secret, which threatens to tear their family to shreds and ruin them all.

Powerful and dramatic, Keep Quiet will have listeners and book clubs debating what it means to be a parent and how far you can, and should, go to protect those you love.

Great Book !

This book was great. ! The author kept my ears glued to the speaker. The twists and turns were mind boggling.

Engaging story

This writing reminds me of Jodi Picoult. I enjoyed the reading, but the story got a little far fetched for me. I kept saying to myself, "What are the odds of THAT happening?" But then, it is just a story.

For me, the high emotions of the son was exhausting. Maybe it was just the narrator, but alright already, I get it.

The story makes you wonder what you would do in a similar situation. And as a lesson, living with guilt is generally a worse punishment than actually paying your dues.

Very Good Read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a very interesting mystery, along the lines of "A Simple Plan," where every effort to solve a problem leads the characters deeper into trouble.
