MY REVIEW
Wow! The Silent Daughter is an outstanding book full of suspense. I loved the sharp short chapters that helped me wiz through this book wanting answers to questions that husband, father Chris Morrision needed. It did make me wonder how many secrets can a family keep from each other?
Chris Morrison’s 58-year-old wife Maria a secondary school teacher is in a coma after serious head injuries in Edinburgh city centre. She had been taken to Edinburgh Royal infirmary.
What was Maria doing sprinting away from the starting line of a race? Where was she going? How did she fall and smash her head on some stones steps?
Was there a connection between her fall and the silent phones calls Maria had received?
There is much more of a nightmare unfolding for Chris Morrision, not only is his wife in a coma, but he can’t contact his daughter Ruth a freelance tour guide to let her know that her mother is hospital.
Chris realises that without being able to contact Ruth that she is missing. Mickey, Ruth’s brother is holding a secret about his sister from his father, Chris.
The Morrision family become very complicated to the extent of far too many family secrets are to be announced. I’m very impressed with the ending providing me with a big shock. I do love it when I can’t guess the ending. I have to congratulate author Emma Christie who cleverly plotted a page turning story, adding a smart twist at the end that was impossible to guess it.
I do hope that you buy this book that you all enjoy reading The Silent Daughter as much as what I did.
I would like to thank Welbeck publishers for sending me this master piece finished paperback copy.
