In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned.
His body was never recovered.
Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again...
... until Aiden returns.
Too traumatized to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. Aiden never drowned. Aiden was taken.
As Emma attempts to reconnect with her now teenage son, she must unmask the monster who took him away from her. But who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime?
It's Aiden who has the answers, but he cannot tell her the unspeakable.
This dark and disturbing psychological novel is a page-turner you will not be able to put down.
What readers are saying about Silent Child:
"Everyone, buy this book, it's brilliant. I just kept reading it, instead of cleaning. Now I'm sad it's ended."
"A tense, haunting story which I had to finish in one sitting."
"What a fantastic read. Kept me on the edge of my seat 'til the end."
"One of the best books I have read. I stayed up most of the night to read it."
"I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting. It's been a long time since a book has captivated me so much to do that. Gripping and full of twists and turns."

Sarah has a true grasp for detail. I felt like I was in the same place in which the story took place. This is the first book I've read written by her. I will definitely be reading more.
This story was very well written. It kept me in suspense until the end. It's one of those books you don't want to put down! ( )

Mediocre mystery. Rather predictable with kind of a thin plot. ( )

I had it figured out about 1/3 of the way through, it was still a good book but the surprise factor wasn’t there that all the rave reviews promised ( )

Another novel with a lot of hype that did not exactly live up to it for me. A boy named Aiden, presumed to be dead during a devastating flood, comes back after ten years as a sixteen-year-old, bearing signs of confinement and abuse but does not speak at all. His return, and his silence, cause a lot of distress to his mother, Emma, who has finally let go of her son's ghost to start living again with a kind, caring man, Jake, and is carrying his child. As much as he cares for his wife, Jake is not too happy with the mute and seemingly psychologically damaged Aiden hogging all her attention. Emma's determination to find out what happened to Aiden throws up a lot of unsavoury experiences and threatens to tear apart her newfound life.

The plot is quite gripping and the pages turn fast as the tension keeps building up. The description of the locales, atmosphere and the characters is vivid. One could immediately sympathise with Emma as she is grappling with Aiden's return from the dead. And it is horrifying to imagine what Aiden would have undergone for ten long years that has made him unable even to speak.

All of this makes Silent Child almost a compelling read. The reason for the 'almost' is that none of the characters - even the good ones - are likeable. Emma, the central character of this story, herself wallows in self-pity so much that it quickly becomes annoying. And there are several important matters that are not convincingly resolved, making the experience less than satisfactory.

I will not say I disliked Silent Child. But, I had expected it to be much better - going by the rave reviews... ( )
