The Silent Listener
A missing nine-year-old girl…an old man murdered on his deathbed…an accident from long ago that no one talks about.
Joy Henderson’s family is drowning in fear, secrets and lies. Even as a child, she’s aware of her father’s two sides: much-loved pillar of the community in public, diabolical monster behind closed doors.
Twenty years later, when Joy returns to the family’s remote farm to care for him in his final days, she decides its time that everyone knows the truth.
With her sister Ruth whispering dark words of revenge, Joy sets about making sure that her father pays dearly for his past.
But the best laid plans never unfold quite the way you expect them to…
