Cora Lael Mystery

The police are chasing shadows in the search for eight-year-old Hannah Perry. But psychologist Cora Lael has a gift-one that could be the girl's only chance of survival. When Hannah disappears from the sleepy Suffolk village of St Just, the close-knit community is shaken to its core. Acting DS Rob Minshull, haunted by an eerily similar case from seven years ago, leads the investigation. But with the police meeting dead end after dead end, time is running out. Cora Lael has spent her life hiding from her rare gift-the ability to sense emotions imprinted on objects. Yet when she's handed Hannah's belongings, she hears the girl's piercing scream. She knows Hannah is alive, but the clock is ticking. With the shadow of past tragedies hanging over them, can Cora and Rob stop history from repeating itself? Or will the truth come too late to save a child's life? Discover 'The Secret Voices'-an addictive, twist-filled British detective thriller from bestselling women's fiction author Miranda Dickinson. ''BLOODY BRILLIANT. If you like your crime dark and twisty...The Secret Voices is all this and more.'' Joanna Cannon, author of A Tidy Ending

A silent voice holds the key to a deadly truth. When a body is discovered at an abandoned Suffolk farm, DS Rob Minshull and the squad believe it's the latest casualty of the drugs war terrorising rural communities. But when the victim is identified as a well-respected local teacher, the case is thrown wide open. While they hunt the murderer, the South Suffolk CID team face a new threat. A brutal vigilante group dispensing its own twisted justice puts the investigation in grave danger, as well as the detectives. Meanwhile, educational psychologist, Dr Cora Lael, is called into work with Lottie Arundel, a troubled teen who stopped speaking a year ago. As Cora enters Lottie's world, it seems that the teen's silence might hold the key to the case. But as Cora and Rob work together to find a vicious killer, it's clear that uncovering Lottie's secrets will take Cora and Rob into the most dangerous of places – where the price to pay for the truth might be death… The second book from MJ White, ´The Silent Child´, is a twisty, utterly unputdownable crime thriller.
