À propos de cet audio

An unforgettable story that will have your heart racing

Secrets can kill and Danni Brooks knows that better than anyone.

When her husband and two of her three children perish in a devastating house fire, Danni is sure it is arson. She’s even more sure that her and her eldest daughter Mia were meant to die in the fire too. But they are just a normal family. Who would want them dead?

Mia doesn’t talk. She can’t. She is locked in her own world where no one, not even her mother can reach her.

Desperate for answers, and convinced the truth might help her to reach her daughter, Danni tries to piece together the events leading up to that murderous night and uncover the arsonist. But with so many lies to untangle, what isthe truth?

Prepare to have your breath taken away by an unforgettable twist that will leave you reeling...

Kirsty Ferguson is back with a heart-stopping and utterly gripping novel, perfect for all fans of B. A. Paris and Adele Parks.

The ending happened too fast, and I wanted to more conclusions to all the different story lines.

Too much, and not enough

Having read a couple of Kristy Ferguson novels, I can confidently conclude that she is a misanthropist - quite clearly despising her fellow man and expressing zero confidence in the resilience of the human spirit. This book is dark traumatic experience after dark traumatic experience: alcoholic/prostitute moms; psychopath sisters; high-schools full of stalkers; cartoonishly evil bullies; Hollywood cliché predatory "bitch-sluts"; and pedophile teachers.. even the admirable husband is a disinterested philanderer who is into incest porn. The plot includes myriad abuses, psychological torture, rape, murder, and the curiously nonchalant killing of children.
("Where are the Police?" I asked myself dozens of times).
To that excessively black atmosphere Ferguson adds multiple plotlines in multiple timeframes.. jumping around from grim story thread to grim story thread with semi-masochistic relish. She isn't a good enough writer to pull off a plot this complex.

Fortunately, Josie Taylor's narration is excellent.. almost (but not quite) saving the story. Yes, her Aussie/Kiwi accent is occasionally overwhelming - but the overall timbre and cadence are pleasant and comfortable (I was able to listen to her for hours at a time). Taylor's emotive tone furthermore demonstrates a real buy-in to the text (she is clearly invested) and her voice-acting is creditable. I would listen to more from this reader anyday.

Taken altogether, this overly-jaundiced tale merits a pedestrian 5 stars out of 10. If you can tolerate the shocking bleakness, 'The Silent Daughter' is worth a download.. *if* - as I did - you can get it for free

..but save your Credit for something more worthy if they ask for it.

Depressing.. and Overly Ambitious

I found it confusing. The story jumped around too much. There was alot of unnecessary swearing. I liked the narrator.

Disturbing

I did not see that coming! In this novel written by Kirsty Ferguson, and really well narrated by Josie Taylor, there are many dark and unredeeming characters set in a small town in what we assume is Australia. I enjoyed the story, but it is dark.

Whoa!
