Every Silent Thing

“A dark and gripping small-town tale.” —Kirkus Reviews

A mother and son each harbor a plot to save the other—unaware their colliding plans threaten to unearth a secret that will destroy them both.

At thirteen, Levi Tallon is already running out of options. Trapped between a father’s escalating violence and a mother who keeps waiting for God to save them, he lives in constant fear of the next drunken rage. Then he meets Doley—a juvie-scarred loner and prime suspect in a woman’s disappearance. What starts as an unlikely friendship hardens into a dangerous alliance sealed in blood: together they’ll kill Levi’s father and free his mother for good.

But Levi has misjudged the woman who raised him. Maggie struck her own pact long ago, and the secret she’s been hiding within her marriage will twist his plan inside out. As her truth unravels, so does Levi’s faith—sending him on a search for answers that will tear apart everything he thought he knew about his family, his new friend, and himself.

Dark, intimate, and emotionally charged, Every Silent Thing is a searing domestic drama with the pulse and twists of a thriller—but it’s also a heartrending coming-of-age story of unbendable devotion, stolen innocence, and the choices that leave no clean way back. With its intricate plot and sharply drawn characters, Every Silent Thing establishes M.R. Madonna as a powerful new voice in psychological suspense.

For readers of Gillian Flynn, Liz Moore, Ashley Audrain, and Chris Whitaker.
