In Silence, by Erica Spindler

"In Silence," by Erica Spindler, is a scary, suspenseful book that I love very much. Its about a young journalist named Avery Chauvin, who returns to her home in Cypress Springs, Louisiana, after twelve long years away. Despite the large amount of time shes been away, nothing has changed. Except for her. Her mother died a year ago, and now her father has commit suicide. Or did he? She believes that her father, a physician who dedicated himself to preserving life, would never commit suicide. As Avery cleans out her Cypress Springs is a post card perfect town, where everyone thinks they's safe. Why would her father keep these clippings? As Avery continues to search for clues on what might have really happened to her father, a woman is found brutally murdered. People go missing,, and it becomes harder for Avery to trust even her closest of friends. What's happening in Cypress Springs? Is anyone safe anymore? I really enjoyed reading this book, and anyone that loves mystery, suspense, or horror will love it also.
