4 Stars from me
As well as being a superbly captivating book, I really love the cover on this one.
My heart went out to so many of the characters during this story, probably top of the list was Maxime – although being a mother of boys I can only imagine the pain and guilt that Sandrine went through too.
Then of course, there are the true victims and their characters radiated courage and strength throughout this story.
The Silent Friend seemed quite delicately written, it wasn’t a ‘smash’n’grab’ kind of a story, it was more like a creeping tide of realisation as things began to unfold. It was beautifully written, very engaging and hard at times to read.
I couldn’t help but draw parallels with Manchester as I read this and I find it deeply sad that we live in a world where events like this are real. Much like in Knife Edge and the Sandman, I am all too aware that the prevent training which occurs across the country is vital to try to re-educate and hopefully stop some of these individuals before it is too late.
Diane Jeffrey has a lovely writing style and she very beautifully tells a rather horrible story.
