Winner of Audible UK’s 2017 Narrator of the Year Award

Introducing Audible's Thriller of the Year: Silent Child by Sarah A. Denzil, performed by Joanne Froggatt.

In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned. His body was never recovered. Ten years later Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again...until Aiden returns.

Too traumatised to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Where has he been? What happened to him on that rainy afternoon? And now that he's back, whom can he trust?

At Audible we love listening to crime books. But every so often one comes along that we think is truly special. An Amazon Kindle number one best-seller, Sarah A. Denzil's Silent Child is taking Audible HQ by storm. In an Audible Exclusive production, Joanne Froggatt (Mrs Bates, Downton Abbey) delivers a powerhouse performance that will keep you gripped until the very last second.

Silent Child Swept Me Away For Two Days

I found this audiobook engrossing. The author took me places I did not expect or wish to go, and she worried me that I would not be able to sustain my interest--but I certainly did.

In short, a young child, Aiden Price, age six, disappears from his school after a terrible rainstorm. Ten years later he is found wandering the woods nearby. He is reunited with his mother but apparently due to sustained trauma, refuses to speak or provide any information about his captor or where he had been for the ten years.

I don't want to give away any more information. I just want to add that if the subject interests you, get the book and set aside plenty of listening time. You have nothing to lose and lots to enjoy.

The narrator does a bang-up job portraying Aiden's mother. If you were a fan of Downton Abbey, you will recognize her voice immediately--I promise you.

She's no heroine- what a downer

The performance by reader is best thing about this audiobook. The story is implausible at best, and the main character is no heroine. She's a sobbing, spineless mess. She does everything wrong and can't even stand up for herself, but we are still supposed to feel bad for her? No way. There's no way I can look up to that kind of woman. Waste of credit. Don't bother.

Too many twists

WAY too many twists and turns, and all at the very end of the book. It was a far stretch, even for fiction. Shame because it was a decent book until that stupid ending!

Returned this one

I wanted to like this book. I tried. But I just could not engage with the story or the characters. The narrator uses little distinction between voices, so it was tricky to follow the action.
The plot is good...a little boy disappears during a flood, is eventually declared dead and then reappears after 10 years. But the story plods along and I just couldn't care about the characters. I need to care. So after weeks of trying to hang in there, I returned it.
Audible has a good program and I can feel more free to buy books, knowing I can easily return them if they don't keep me entertained.

Outstanding!

I thought it was an excellent story and very well read. I did not guess the ending! I recommend this book
