* * *
This morning, my daughter sat right here, munching her breakfast, too excited to finish it. Now, she is missing.
* * *
The day after her ninth birthday, Lucie and Blake Sullivan agree, for the very first time, to let their daughter, Grace, make the four-minute walk back home alone from a friend’s house just down the street.
* * *
They joke with friends about hiding behind bushes to ensure she is safe. But the joke turns sour when Grace does not appear.
* * *
Despite the best efforts of the police and local community, Grace seems to have vanished into thin air. With hope fading fast, Lucie knows she can rely on her husband to support her through such dark times. That is until the day she makes a shocking discovery, hidden in Blake’s desk, and suddenly she begins to doubt everything she knew about the man she married.
* * *
But Lucie harbours a terrible secret of her own. One that she has never shared with anyone, even Blake …
* * *
And as the search for Grace reaches fever pitch, Lucie receives a terrifying message. If she is ever to see Grace again, Lucie has no choice but to face the past she tried hard to bury forever. And she must do it alone.

The Silent Ones was inspired by several historical news stories that left a question in my head: if two children committed a terrible crime and fell silent, how would that be resolved? What would be the reaction of the families involved?
Then a nice little complication posed itself: what if the children were cousins and their mothers were sisters? I got to thinking about how a dilemma such as this could easily set families against each other.
Even in happy families, we learn to tolerate each other based on years of getting to know each other, and anticipate how we’ll react to certain situations. But such a crime could fracture all that, exposing old secrets and stresses within the family unit.
And this was my starting place for writing The Silent Ones.
The book is set in Nottinghamshire, the place I was born and have lived all my life. Local readers should be aware that I sometimes take the liberty of changing street names or geographical details to suit the story.
I know you hear this a lot, but reviews are so massively important to authors. If you’ve enjoyed The Silent Ones and could spare just a few minutes to write a short review to say so, I would so appreciate that. I’d love to hear what you think, and it makes such a difference helping new readers to discover my books for the first time.
I also love hearing from my readers – you can connect with me via my website, on Facebook or on Twitter.
Best wishes,
