The Silence Before

Savannah Shadows Psychological Thrillers, Book 2

By: L.T. Ryan, Laura Chase

Narrated by: Marnye Young

A Missing Woman. A Ruthless Heir. A Journalist Who Knows Too Much.

When journalist Fiona Stevens begins investigating the decades-old disappearance of Sarah Mercer, she expects pushback—but not from Savannah’s most powerful elite. As she digs deeper, Fiona discovers a tangled web of family betrayals, hidden inheritance, and a questionable legal agreement that could alter everything.

At the center of it all is Dolores Bates, a reclusive socialite with everything to lose, and Henry Caldwell, a family attorney who harbors secrets of his own. Fiona’s pursuit of the truth turns dangerous when blackmail, break-ins, and a deadly confrontation put her squarely between those who would rather history stay buried and those who want it unearthed.

With the help of her sister, attorney Claire Stevens, Fiona must navigate a city where silence is power and secrets are currency. But the past refuses to stay quiet, and the deeper she goes, the more she realizes—some truths were never meant to be uncovered.

For fans of psychological suspense, The Silence Before is a gripping novel of deception, corruption, and the cost of exposing long-forgotten secrets.

The Silence Before

The twist and turns of the story keep your mind trying to figure things out. The characters change from good to bad and bad to good. The surprise ending is unexpected.

Not his best…

I am a huge LT Ryan fan! I have read most of his series and love them all. This one fell a little flat, there were discrepancies in locations, there were many times when I thought the characters were oblivious to the facts, and I had figured out the storyline mid book. I love the narrator, it’s the same voice from the Rachel Hatch series, which is excellent.
