Relative Silence

By: Carrie Stuart Parks

Narrated by: Piper Jones

A powerful family with dark secrets.

After personal tragedy, Piper Boone retreats to her childhood home — a secluded mansion for the wealthy Boone family, who are practically American royalty. When catastrophe strikes, her family is put in the spotlight, and the line between victim and suspect gets blurred. A forensic artist with his own haunting past.

Tucker Landry is drawn to Piper in the midst of the trauma, but the connections being made to her family might prove to be their undoing. With a hurricane beating down on the private island, there isn’t much time to find answers.

The truth will determine whether she lives or dies.

What a beautiful story

I have loved each one of your books, and there is no greater miracle than salvation, well worth listening to

Great narration of good book

good mystery.well worth the listen. Had no trouble staying up to finish this one !

soooo much potential

I thought when reading the description - what an interesting story. It definitely has a few twists and turns overall and the plot was interesting -
I didn't appreciate the Christian propaganda being pushed - especially since it wasn't identified under genre/fiction with notes of "thriller suspense/women sleuth/suspense" not one note of pushing Christianity -

What I also found difficult to get past is the lack luster narration. I feel, I can normally can get past the narrator's styles of reading (especially by increasing the narration speed) but I was super disappointed in the lack of inflection and lilt to Ms Piper Jones reading. She did read flawlessly, but her poor performance took away from the suspense driven areas in the story with a tone like she was reading the local newspaper. 8 1/2 hours I won't get back.
