Book Review ~ Pact of Silence, by Linda Huber


Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

A fresh start for a new life. Newly pregnant, Emma is startled when her husband Luke announces they’re swapping homes with his parents, but the rural idyll where Luke grew up is a great place to start their family. Yet Luke’s manner suggests something odd is afoot, something that Emma can’t quite fathom.

Too many secrets, not enough truths

Linda Huber’s Pact of Silence is a gripping exploration of the enduring power of secrets. Darker than some of her books, this has plenty of suspense, betrayal, and redemption, drawing readers into a world where the past casts a long shadow.

The central character, Emma, uncovers a web of lies and deceit, forcing her to confront the painful truth about her husband's past. 

Insightful and thought-provoking, Pact of Silence is a sensitive portrayal of grief, guilt, and forgiveness, and the impact of trauma on individuals and families. which I am happy to recommend.
