Merida Falcon is a trophy wife and married to a man who was
several years older. She married him after she was in an
accident and he offered to pay her medical bills. Little did
she know but Merida was signing her life away. So, finally
her husband is dead, and Merida, under a new name, goes to
Virtue Falls to seek revenge.
Kateri Kwinault is the deputy sheriff in Virtue Falls. As
the first woman to be the deputy sheriff, she knows she must
do a great job to prove her capabilities. Kateri and Merida
are old friends, but it has been years since they've seen
each other, so she's shocked when Merida shows up in Virtue
Falls. Kateri has no idea what Merida has on her mind, the
revenge for what happened years earlier. Several murders are
taking place in Virtue Falls, and Katerik thinks there may
be a connection between them and Merida, but what could it be?
Merida also meets up with her first love, Benedict. Their
love life ended right after the accident nine years ago, but
Merida told one story and Benedict another. As they start to
get close again, they figure out they've been told lies for
all this time. What is the real reason behind all of this?
Merida is baffled and rethinks her opinions of her former
boyfriend.
I really enjoy all of Christina Dodd's stories, and so I was
expecting the most from THE
WOMAN WHO COULDN'T SCREAM. Dodd has a way of telling a
story that I know once I start one of her books, I can't put
it down. This story held my attention, and I was not
disappointed at all. Although they are several stories going
on in this book, don't worry, you won't be confused at all.
I found myself inside the twisting stories, just as if I was
Merida. My emotions went from sad to happy.
Dodd also writes about two friends continuing their
friendship after years apart. Also, there are also two
romances, both for Merida and Kateri but the romances do not
take away from the mystery, which is still the main focus of
THE WOMAN WHO COULDN'T SCREAM. As the fourth book in the Virtue
Falls series it helps to read the previous books, but
you're given enough information to understand what is
happening in THE WOMAN WHO COULDN'T SCREAM. If you love
mysteries and heart-pounding suspense, give this one a try.
