Her Scream in the Silence

Carly Moore Series, Book 2

By: Denise Grover Swank

Narrated by: Shannon McManus

In the second book of the USA Today best-selling series, Carly looks into a young woman’s disappearance while trying to hide her own dark secrets.

Carly Moore is finally feeling settled in Drum, Tennessee. She likes her job waitressing at Max’s Tavern and her boyfriend...she should have known both were too good to be true.

The previous waitress Lula unexpectedly returns, threatening Carly’s job and stability in Drum. But when Lula disappears, Carly is the only one who believes she didn’t leave of her own violation. Lula has a few secrets of her own, and one person is front and center on Carly’s suspect list—the town’s drug lord.

Teaming up with Marco Roland—a Hensen County Deputy on medical leave—to help find out what happened to Lula, they soon realize her disappearance has ties to Drum’s past.

Someone doesn’t want stones overturned, and they’ll go to deadly lengths to keep the truth hidden. Can Carly and Marco find Lula before it’s too late?

Another great Carly story

This installment of Carly Moore’s complicated messy life packed an emotional punch. It was a roller coaster ride of all the things wrapped up in all the feelings. Carly is hiding from her dangerous and powerful father and ex-fiancée and a dead car resulted in her ending up in small town Drum. She is working as a waitress in the local bar and dating the local mechanic, Wyatt. Her somewhat comfortable new life is upended when Lula, the waitress she replaced, returns to town and Wyatt’s secrecy causes her to break up with him. When Lula goes missing, Carly teams up with her friend Marco to investigate. But things get messy and complicated quickly. The book was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters, and an engaging storyline as shown through sweet moments, exciting action, danger, family drama, painful pasts, mystery, plot twists, imperfect characters, secrets, missteps, and laughs. I am looking forward to reading more in this series. 4.5 stars.

Shannon McManus did a great job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.
