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 THE WOMAN WHO COULDN'T SCREAM. Dodd has a way of writing that I know once I start one of her books, I can't put it down. This story really held my attention. There are really several stories going on in this book. Don't worry, you won't confused at all. I found myself inside this book, just as if I was Merida. My emotions went from sad to happy.
Dodd also writes about two friends that after years meet up again and continue their friendship. There are also two romances going on, both for Merida and for Kateri. This does not take away from the mystery, which is still the main focus of the story. This book is also the fourth one that takes place in Virtue Falls, but you don't need to read the previous books to understand what is happening. If you love mysteries, give this one a try.
Merida Falcon is a world-class beauty, a trophy wife who
seems to have it all...except she has no voice. For nine
bitter years, she lived to serve her wealthy elderly
husband. On his death, Merida vanishes...and reappears in
Virtue Falls with a new name, a new look, and a plot to
take revenge on the man who loved her, betrayed her and
walked away, leaving her silent, abused and bound to an
old man's obsession.
But Merida faces challenges. Her school friend Kateri
Kwinault is the newly elected sheriff of Virtue Falls. A
chance meeting with her former lover intrigues him and
brings him on the hunt for her, and meeting him face to
face shakes her convictions. Will she have time to
discover the truth about the events that occurred nine
years ago? For someone in Virtue Falls is stalking women
and slashing them...to death.
Danger closes in. Merida's fears build. There's no one to
turn to...no one she dares to trust. And she has to
wonder--who is the killer stalking? Is he trying to
silence forever THE WOMAN WHO COULDN'T SCREAM?
