A review by the_bibliophilic_world
The Girl from Silent Lake by Leslie Wolfe

4.0

Detective Kay Sharp left her home after an unforgettable family trauma. A Special Agent with the FBI, she is a renowned criminalist and also has a psychology degree. Coming back home is the last thing Kay wants to do, but her brother Jacob is being jailed for a short duration. Kay feels responsible for Jacob and his house, so she leaves her career behind and goes back to home to a place where she is haunted by terrible memories.

The story unfolds in minor acts, building in emotional substance. With a profusion of imagery in the writing style, it makes you feel you are right there in the book, and that’s something I look for in a delightful book.

Leslie Wolfe is a new name for me in the world of books, and it thrilled me to read the first book in a new series. I love how she developed Kay’s personality. I am excited to read the next book in the series. I love Kay and cannot wait to see how she handles her next case.

Thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
