Silent Pretty Things




A small town…a prominent family…a secret. Only two people know the truth, and their silence will have murderous consequences.

Anna Goddard has spent a lifetime being the Good Daughter. Polished and primped into sleek, blond perfection, Anna learned from an early age that being a Goddard meant presenting a flawless façade to the world. But all that changes when Anna stumbles upon a private correspondence that leaves her reeling. With the help of Michael Donovan, a shy but charming local historian, Anna embarks on a journey to find the one thing her family has always denied: The Truth.

Propelled by her mission to protect those she loves, the young woman experiences a tantalizing taste of freedom. But in the process of unearthing the past, Anna and her family will expose a new threat so dangerous it could ruin them all.

Anna Goddard is a pampered rich girl in a small town. Her brother is the family rebel, Anna is the perfect daughter. Until one day she finds out something about her family and she needs to do some sleuthing. With the help of a shy handsome historian she sets about uncovering the Truth.


This book isn’t very well-written and it’s boring. The pacing is super slow. There’s an attention to every mundane detail that bogs the whole thing down and the dialogue is awful. Who talks like that? No one I know. I read this book months ago and I’m just now writing up the review. I don’t remember much else about it except there’s also insta-love. Ugh.
