Summary
Newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architect—only there’s one caveat: behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretaker’s cottage … lives Wells’s first wife, Sylvie.

Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered a nervous breakdown—and hasn’t uttered a sound since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renowned specialist has been able to elicit so much as a word from the silent woman—until now.

On an ordinary Tuesday while Wells was away—despite instructions to never disturb the fragile woman—Jade visited her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. Only she wasn’t expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled in shaky black ink. That word? Run

The Silent Woman gave me “Verity” and “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” vibes in the best possible way! Jade moves in with her new husband Wells and he has an unusual setup. His ex-wife Sylvie lives in the guest house. She had an injury years ago and unable to communicate or do much… Or is she? Although it was predictable and I guessed all the twists I still really enjoyed this story! It was addicting I couldn’t put the book down, it was such an amazing page turning thriller with themes of strong women, great character development and amazing storyline. I highly recommend reading this if you want to read a truly incredible page turning thriller that you can’t stop reading!

Great book, was glad that I listened!! Highly recommended. Plot was kinda predictable, but a great listen nonetheless.

A bit predictable, but well told

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2023

Predictable but still good.

Profile Avatar Mitzi McNamara Jul 2023

A little boring at the beginning.

Enjoyed this one!

Good plot and story, good narrators. Worth a listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2025

Just read one with the exact storyline. This one was quite boring.❤️

Profile Avatar Pam V. Mar 2025

good story, nice plot. kept you thinking. Very nice narrator...

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2025

Engaging from the beginning! Twists and turns keep you guessing until the end.

Profile Avatar Whitney Feb 2025

Good book, with a surprising end

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2025

Those storys are all the same.

Profile Avatar Cody I. Jan 2025

Well written, highly suspenseful with twists and turns galore... only to have such an extremely predictable ending! Narrators were good although I did enjoy one over the other. Overall a very entertaining book with interesting, strong female characters. If you like the "go girl!" theme with men being evil, this is for you.

Profile Avatar Chelsey B. Jan 2025

Overall pretty good story telling, wish there would have been more of a twist at the end.. not sure what but felt like something could have happened to give that shock and awe moment I longed for the entire time.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2025

Interesting twists, but the writing is far too repetitive for a novel this short.

Profile Avatar Alysia B. Jan 2025

Good story plot but really drawn out. Overall a good book for listening while I was cleaning today.

Profile Avatar Heather S. Nov 2024

Great read. Suspenseful through the whole book.

Profile Avatar TraciW Jun 2024

I truly enjoyed this book. Narrator was good and I looked forward to getting to my car to listen more.

Profile Avatar Bronhud May 2024

It’s ok. I found the ending a bit flat. I thought there would be a dramatic twist but there wasn’t.

Profile Avatar KHolton May 2024

Easy listen a little predictable but a nice twist.

Profile Avatar sheresa riley May 2024

Nice book

Profile Avatar Scott Johnson May 2024

The narrator was okay, but the story lack a strong finish. I liked the build up. It was a nicely paced burn; however, it seemed like the author needed to meet a deadline, much like Jade in the story.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2024

It was a predictable story but kept my mind engaged enough on a long drive.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2024

Liked this book a lot! Entertaining and kept you interested to the end. Would recommend.

I liked it. Definitely would recommend.

Profile Avatar Yvonne D. Jan 2024

Held my attention. Great narrator. Easy to follow.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

This was a well written book and the narration was excellent. Great word choice, engaging, kept me guessing. The ending was good and final. I’m left a huge fan of all the women of Westmore. I’m now a huge fan of Lakin…this is my second book (first being The Only One Left) and now I’ll be following her for her next thriller! The narration is equally important, if not more, than the story itself. I am very picky. Bravo!

loved this book! narrators voices were pleasant & appropriately affective.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2023

It's a book that should've been a very short story. The narrator was good. I could've used my free credit on a good book.

Profile Avatar Namarran Nov 2023

Not my usual listen, but I found it very well read, and a very engaging story. I recommend this book for an easy listen :)

Profile Avatar Joanne G. Nov 2023

This was an enjoyable thriller with a storyline a bit different from the norm. I guessed the ending but there were some good twists in the tale. It was my VIP book choice for this month and I listened to it over two days. I thought the narrator was good too.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

Hard to put down and keeps one guessing who’s the villain. Excellent narration.

Profile Avatar Kelly V. Jul 2023

Loved the narrator! Fantastic plot. The ending seemed a little rushed, but still loved the book.

Profile Avatar Lisa N. Jul 2023

I liked the narrator for Jade much better than the one for Sylvie. Story very predictable but it was engaging.

Kept my attention

Profile Avatar VickyB Jul 2023

Gripping story well narrated

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

Worth the listen. I enjoyed it overall. Was hoping for a plot twist at the end.

Unexpectedly a great read! This was a VIP free book and my expectations were low. Highly recommend.

Profile Avatar Jamie Jun 2023

Not a bad story, but somewhat predictable.

Profile Avatar S L. Jun 2023

Great storyline! Keeps you guessing til the end.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

I feel like this book was overall ok. If you’re wanting something easy to listen to within the genre this is perfect for that. I could see an avid mystery “who done it” reader listening to this and not thinking it was amazing. But for the few I have read I thought it was good. The narrator was good!

Profile Avatar GAIL M. Jun 2023

Great read. I figured the ending but I was wondering the whole time

Profile Avatar Maree G. Jun 2023

Loved this book, best one I have listened to in a long time. It keep me interested throughout and great ended. So many books are average with a great twist at the end, this book is fabulous throughout and still delivers a great ending. Highly recommend!

Devoured this, aurally speaking. The narrators are good and the tale absorbing.

Enjoyed the twists and turns. Easy listening.

Really enjoyed this book, few great twists and well defined characters.

Unusual plot which I enjoyed and had me intrigued so held my attention.

Profile Avatar William Troyk May 2023

ok but too slow.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

I enjoyed this book very much, it kept me guessing and slowly unveiled the story behind his first wife. The narration is pleasant. I look forward to another book of MK.

Profile Avatar Niki F. May 2023

I listened to this after listening to The Silent Patient. They are both great books, well worth a listen.

Profile Avatar Jay D. May 2023

Fairly good overall and keeps you constantly revising your theories as you go, but waltzes right past the perfect setup for a final twist at the end for a finish that feels like a let down in comparison. Feels like the author had it in mind at first and just couldn't connect the dots so settled for the "easier" route.
