The Silence of Murder by Dandi Daley Mackall

(*also available in Ebook Format)

This award winning book follows the journey of Hope Long, whose brother, Jeremy is convicted of murdering their high school baseball coach. But, how do you fight for someone who doesn’t speak? Someone who isn’t able to tell anyone what happened?

Jeremy has always been different. He sees and interprets things differently, and due to this, is viewed as odd by others. Jeremy also suffers from selective mutism. He hasn’t spoken a word to anyone since the age of 6. As his trial draws to a close, it is up to Hope, to find out what really happened that dreadful day.

With the help of her best friend T.J., Hope sets out to piece together the events of that fateful day, but there is someone out there that doesn’t want her digging for clues. Someone that has an eye on her and is watching her every move. What will Hope find? Is the risk worth it? And why has Chase Wells (the popular and handsome son of the Police Sheriff and a total stranger) come to her rescue?

A great read that will have you guessing till the end.
