I read Silent Child for the June 2017 pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove.
There was an unusual number of typos and proofreading errors, but beyond that the writing itself wasn't bad, your standard suspense novel fare.
I thought the culprit was obvious the moment the character was introduced, but the author does throw in everything but the kitchen sink by the end to make for a convoluted, coincidental mess, IMO.
And for the life of me, I can't understand why anyone wants to write or read a story about a small child being sexually molested. Not that the book gave graphic descriptions, but isn't such a thing unspeakable enough when it happens in real life? Why add fictional accounts to the world? Blech. 2.75 stars.
