Oustanding - Her Silence by S T Ashman #netgalley #stashman #hersilence

MY REVIEW

Her Silence is my first foray into the writing of S T Ashman, and it won’t be my last. I always marvel at finding so many wonderful writers that supply me with endless hours of entertainment. So, let’s get down to brass tacks.

For Nicole, it all begins with a 4 am phone call. Lacey, her daughter, is found in the woods beside her friend’s dead husband. They messed with the wrong woman, and Nicole is going rain hell on those who chose to bring trouble to her world. Secrets. Corruption. Vengeance.

I love stories that get my emotions riled up. This family had me laughing and loving, bringing tears to my eyes. I love strong female main characters that capture my attention, making it hard for me to look away. Unputdownable. Riveting. I’ll be on the lookout for more work by S T Ashman.

My thanks for out to NetGalley and S T Ashman for the opportunity to share Her Silence.

GOODREADS BLURB

he survived the night. The truth didn’t.

Nicole gets the call at 4 a.m. Her daughter Lacey was found in the woods beside her friend’s dead husband. He was stabbed forty-four times. Lacey is barely alive. Covered in his blood. And completely mute.

She hasn’t said a word since. Not to the police. Not to her husband. Not even to Nicole.

Nicole had Lacey at seventeen and swore her daughter would have a good life. Now Lacey is sitting in a cell, and Nicole’s three grandchildren are left behind with a father who is losing it.

But Nicole knows her daughter. She isn’t a cold-blooded murderer. Guilt didn’t silence her. Fear did. Whatever happened in those woods scared Lacey more than prison.

So Nicole starts digging. But some secrets don’t save people. They destroy them.

ABOUT S T ASHMAN

S. T. Ashman is an American-German author who calls the beautiful U.S. Seacoast home. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she spent years working as a psychotherapist in the criminal justice system. The work gave her a rare window into the human mind, both the beautiful and the deeply shadowed. It’s no wonder readers often say her characters feel real enough to step off the page.
When she’s not crafting her next twisty tale, you’ll find her chasing after her kids, nose-deep in a book, or curled up late at night with a horror movie and a husband who always falls asleep on the couch before the scary parts.
