Don't say a word...
Assistant State's Attorney Daphne Montgomery has been told to take time off after recent personal trauma. But she refuses to sit on the side lines when she meets a six-year-old girl the police call Angel.

Angel hasn't spoken a word since she was found four days ago next to a burned-out car, frozen with shock, not far from the bodies of two adults who may or may not have been her parents.

FBI Special Agent Joseph Carter knows that helping Angel is exactly what Daphne needs. But when Daphne gets Angel to talk, a mysterious and chilling crime begins to unravel - one that will drive Daphne into the darkest corners of her past as she and Joseph track a ruthless killer.

Daphne is still recovering from a terrible case and is currently on bereavement leave. Struggling to stay out of her head, she is quickly pulled into another case by her boyfriend and head of Baltimore’s Violent Crimes Enforcement Team, Joseph.

Daphne is instantly drawn to this traumatized and scared little girl. She reminds Daphne of herself when she was a child and witnessed something horrible. Trying to get the girl to open up, Daphne suggests she visit her farm for some equine therapy. It works like a charm and with the help of Daphne’s colleagues; this brave little girl breaks her silence.

Karen Rose is quickly becoming one of my very favorite authors. Her suspenseful storytelling always has me holding my breath. Her characters are well-developed and her villains are always meticulously diabolical. This is an excellent, quick read for anyone looking for a new romantic suspense author.
