About this listen
Winner of Audible's 2017 Narrator of the Year Award
Introducing Audible's Thriller of the Year: Silent Child by Sarah A. Denzil, performed by Joanne Froggatt.
In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned. His body was never recovered. Ten years later Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again...until Aiden returns.
Too traumatised to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Where has he been? What happened to him on that rainy afternoon? And now that he's back, whom can he trust?
At Audible we love listening to crime books. But every so often one comes along that we think is truly special. An Amazon Kindle number one best-seller, Sarah A. Denzil's Silent Child is taking Audible HQ by storm. In an Audible Exclusive production, Joanne Froggatt (Mrs Bates, Downton Abbey) delivers a powerhouse performance that will keep you gripped until the very last second.
©2017 Sarah A. Denzil (P)2017 Audible, LtdEditorial reviews
"A good audiobook for me is one that takes me on a ride that I never could have imagined, and Silent Child did exactly that. Sarah A. Denzil weaves a tale that starts with heartbreak, adds mystery and suspense, and ultimately becomes a thriller. The writing is superb and it created a blockbuster movie in my mind as I listened. Silent Child had me at the edge of my seat the entire time, and I even fell off a few times." - Sean, Audible Editor
"The premise is shocking and it compels you to find out where Sarah A. Denzil will take the story. But, where I think the author is truly genius is in the way she supports the central plot with some heartbreakingly real and genuinely flawed characters that were so obviously as fully developed in Denzil's mind as the thrilling hook that makes you choose the book in the first place. There's so much more to this one than first meets the eye." - Alexandra, Audible Editor

Intriguing, but rough around the edges
This is an energetic and well paced suspense story, though it does share a close resemblance to others I've read. Joanne Froggatt is near-perfect in this; her character separation is spot on, in particular for male characters. My one gripe is the surprisingly poor audio quality. There are distracting background noises, swallowing sounds, and a hissy contrast from dialog to silence that could (should) all have been cleaned up. An unusual oversight for a product carrying the Audible Studios banner.

A great Read
This book was a great story , talk about a who dunit, I was unable to stop reading. It was a book that keeps you wondering right up until the last chapter. Loved it.
The reader was a bit too edgy at times but got used to that.

One of the best Audiobooks I have ever listened to
I cannot recommend this story highly enough. I was completely enthralled, when I wasn't listening I was thinking about the characters and what could possibly happen next. If you're a fan of suspense, I recommend listening.

Intriguing but unlikely
Interesting storyline that kept me guessing. I listened to this at every opportunity I got as I was keen to know how it ended. The horrific bad luck of it all left me a bit cold though. Talk about your “ unfortunate series of events “!

Long bow
Well performed but: It’s a long bow when, in a small village, there are three psychopathic nutters and a child porn addict all sharing guilt for the central crime.
