Publisher's summary
A psychologist haunted by childhood trauma must unearth all that is buried in her past in this twisting, lyrical novel of suspense by Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author Jenny Milchman.
Psychologist Arles Shepherd treats troubled children, struggling with each case to recover from her own traumatic past, much of which she’s lost to the shadows of memory. Having just set up a new kind of treatment center in the remote Adirondack wilderness, Arles longs to heal one patient in particular: a ten-year-old boy who has never spoken a word—or so his mother, Louise, believes.
Hundreds of miles away, Cass Monroe is living a parent’s worst nightmare. His twelve-year-old daughter has vanished on her way home from school. With no clues, no witnesses, and no trail, the police are at a dead end. Fighting a heart that was already ailing, and struggling to keep both his marriage and himself alive, Cass turns to a pair of true-crime podcasters for help.
Arles, Louise, and Cass will soon find their lives entangled in ways none of them could have anticipated. And when the collision occurs, a quarter-century-old secret will be forced out of hiding. Because nothing screams louder than silence.

Martin Lorensen is a twenty-three-year-old counselor for disturbed teenagers. He’s bright, compassionate, attractive, and outgoing. He’s also—and this is the most interesting thing—not dead. Martin has improbably survived not one but two deadly disasters that claimed dozens of lives. The kid is riding one hell of a lucky streak. Two federal agents think there is something darker at play. Now that they’ve arranged to interview Martin, they want answers. Martin is ready to share everything he knows. One thing is for certain: when it comes to escaping death, luck doesn’t figure into it at all.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder.

No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

It’s irresistible to an aspiring investigative journalist like Aleeza. But when she starts receiving texts from Jay, the mystery takes an unexpected turn. To put it mildly.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
My life has never been better. I have a beautiful little girl, and I am engaged to be married to the man I’ve had a crush on since I can remember. So when Nick, my handsome fiancé, announces that his sister Carla is finally coming home, it’s truly the icing on the cake. That was twelve years ago, and no one has seen her since. Everyone is ecstatic about Carla’s return. But as I spend more time with her, I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Her behavior is a little off, her childhood memories don't align with mine, and she's oddly evasive about her lost years.

Very captivating
I very much appreciate how the author carefully and thoughtfully wrote this book. Trigger warning for child neglect and abuse. This is a very much needed book to discuss a very uncomfortable subject that hides in the shadows.

Great book! I can't wait for the follow-up!
We can never have too many people like Dr. Arles in this world. Despite her own personal trauma, she's a fighter through and through.

Realistic Characters & Plotlines
The characters seemed real and true to life. Fascinating to see how the different stories slowly, eventually interwove.
I did not guess who the worst perp was till almost the end.
Excellent writing!

An amazing story!
This was a story that grabbed me from the beginning until the very end. There was never a dull moment, and I can honestly say I felt obsessed to find out what was going to happen next.

Convoluted
I thought I was going to love THE USUAL SILENCE by Jenny Milchman. I’m a retired child psychologist. Reading about those in my profession takes me back to my younger days WHEN it’s done well. THE USUAL SILENCE is not.
As much as I sympathized with Arles, I hated the way she was written with such little insight. Even if she hadn’t committed illegal behavior she’d have been guilty malpractice for continuing to work while psychologically impaired.
Cass, Bea’s father was the only character for whom I felt genuine empathy and the only part of the storyline I cared about.
THE USUAL SILENCE was disjointed and uneven. I often considered giving up and DNF, but I prevailed to the contrived ending.
