Madison Owens has had her fair share of issues in life, but she's finally come of age. Playfully referred to by her family as "the prodigal daughter," she returns home after an extended venture into the world at-large. Among other things, she can now add "bestselling author" as a notch on her belt of accomplishments, and she begins to look homeward for what she deems her next greatest achievement: moving into the old family cabin on the outskirts of town, reinvigorating the blissful memories of her childhood.
Much to her chagrin, though, she soon discovers that her parents have long ago sold the family land. What's worse: they've turned it over to none other than the town pariah himself, Will McGomery, a tragic figure who long ago removed himself from public view ever since his wife's suicide closely followed the mysterious death of Sarah, a young woman he was rumored to have been involved with. Undaunted, Madison approaches Will in order to convince him to return the land to her; naturally, she feels it's her duty, as she's convinced that the property is her birthright.
What Madison doesn't count on, though, is that she and Will will soon begin a dangerous affair - dangerous because of the warning signs that continue to emerge the deeper with him she becomes involved. Despite the objections of her family and various townfolk, Madison can't help succumbing to her powerful attraction to Will, and she soon finds herself delving deeper into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths of both Sarah and his wife, which only fuel her curiosity to learn more...
Everyone knows the infamous saying about curiosity, though, and it may prove to be just as instrumental in silencing Madison's inquiries as it was Sarah's...
An engrossing page-turner, Silencing Sarah is a taut suspense thriller from a seasoned veteran of the genre. In it, M.L. Cordle seamlessly weaves an eclectic cast of characters throughout a tapestry of all-encompassing mystery. Devoid of typically predictable plot twists and faux surprise, Cordle's narrative truly engages the reader in the unfolding of a suspenseful tale that does not have to work hard to hold the interest. Superbly crafted, Silencing Sarah is an even blend of action and exposition sure to keep the reader at rapt attention until the final page of this fast-paced thriller is turned. Highly recommended.
