Twelve-year-old Ivy Harrow has not spoken to a police officer, a doctor, or her own mother in years. On the night her father is found dead, she asks for her recorder, sits alone in an interview room, and says three sentences no one asked her for.
She names the water. She names the minute. She names the strap.
Every detail is correct. The autopsy will not confirm the drowning for another six hours.
Forensic audio analyst Nora Vale can prove the file was never cut, never spliced, never edited. That is exactly the problem. If nobody altered the recording, then somebody arranged the child.
The prompt that produced Ivy's accusation was delivered where no microphone could reach it. And the only witness who could name the speaker has spent her whole life being trained not to ask who is talking.
Some silence is built.
The Quiet Child is the third book in The Stillwater Files, a psychological thriller series featuring forensic audio analyst Nora Vale. It can be read on its own.
For readers of Alex Michaelides, Ruth Ware and Riley Sager.
