Fear the Silence: A dark psychological crime thriller with killer twists

Do you believe Will took his own life?

The question echoed through the sterile morgue, bouncing off cold white tiles. Maggie leaned down, resting her forehead against her husband’s. His skin was cold. Her tears burned hot. It had been five days since Will’s death—and the weight of grief was unbearable.

Maggie believed her husband was the victim of a violent burglary. Until the police revealed something shocking: Will died by suicide.

But that can’t be true. Will wasn’t depressed. He had plans, dreams—reasons to live.

In search of solace and answers, Maggie retreats to their quiet holiday home on a remote Croatian island. There, she discovers a hidden letter in Will’s handwriting—one that hints at a long-buried secret and a past he never spoke about.

As Maggie digs deeper, she realises Will's death wasn't what it seemed. Someone from his past is watching her. Someone who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

Because three can keep a secret… if two of them are dead.

From the international bestselling author of The Girl in the Ice comes a pulse-pounding stand-alone psychological thriller filled with jaw-dropping twists, dark secrets, and deadly consequences.

Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware, and B.A. Paris, this gripping page-turner will keep you reading long into the night—and questioning everything until the final shocking twist.
