The Quiet Ones

A woman is plunged back into the mystery that defined her childhood in this slippery, haunting psychological suspense novel.

There is always more than one way to tell the truth … and more than one way to lie.

When Eve was eleven, she met Amber—a girl as bright as fire and just as dangerous. Alongside their golden friend Caitlin, the three became inseparable, roaming their seaside town and bound by secrets, dares, and a macabre fascination with death. 

Then a boy went missing. 

Now, decades on, a break in the long-cold case drags Eve back to the summer that changed everything. As she begins to untangle what really happened, she is forced to question the stories she has told herself all these years—especially about the girl at the center of it all.

Because Amber didn’t just keep secrets. She created them. 

Dark, intoxicating, and sharply observed, The Quiet Ones is an unsettling portrait of girlhood, guilt, and memory.
