Silver Tears

A novel

By: Camilla Läckberg, Ian Giles - translator

Narrated by: Tanya Cubric

From the internationally bestselling author of The Golden Cage comes a bold, mesmerizing thriller of seduction, deceit, and female power, in which a woman’s secret cannot stay buried forever.

Faye Adelheim is living a delicious lie. She is wealthy beyond imagination, she is the Chairman of her self-made global cosmetics brand, and her ex-husband, the monster who killed her beloved daughter Julienne, is living out the remainder of his days behind bars.

But unbeknownst to journalists, police officers, and investors, and even the lovers she occasionally invites to her bed, Faye has a secret: her daughter is, in fact, alive and well and so is her mother, the woman Faye’s father was sentenced for allegedly killing years ago.

Together, three generations of women have survived in hiding from the men who sought to destroy them. But unfortunately for Faye, cages are meant to be opened, pillow talk can lead to betrayal, and secrets always end in tears.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo meets First Wives Club

I wasn’t sure what to expect. All I know is I love this author and British narrators. The story was much more about corporate espionage than anything. But being a female listener, loved revenge angle. Would highly recommend. Also, as a bonus, very sexual in a surprising and delightful way. Hope there’s a sequel.

Love this author and book

I usually don't write reviews and am picky with books but this one kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Highly recommended!

Good but name pronunciation drove we nuts!

The story was good with fun twist. Tonya’s voice is pleasant. The way she pronounced the different names like Chris, David, Irene…. Drove me nuts. Maybe it was how they are pronounced in other countries? I just found it irritating.

A thriller with a twist of passionate revenge!

Great summer read! Could not wait to discover more about Faye’s background and to how she was going to enact her version of vengeance!

Disappointing

Too much luxury brand-dropping…we got it after the first two or three! Cliched, unimaginative writing style. Psychopathic main character…not much to relate to.
