The unheard : a novel
(Book)

Published by Simon & Schuster in the United Kingdom in 2021.

"In this new heart-pounding stand-alone from the internationally bestselling author who People calls 'razor sharp,' a single mother suspects her young daughter has witnessed a horrible crime when the girl draws a disturbing picture--but the deadly path to unravel the truth could cost her everything. Maybe Tess is overprotective, but passing her daughter off to her ex and his new young wife fills her with a sense of dread. It's not that Jason is a bad father--it just hurts to see him enjoying married life with someone else. Still, she owes it to her daughter, Poppy, to make this arrangement work. But Poppy returns from the weekend tired and withdrawn. And when she shows Tess a crayon drawing--an image so simple and violent that Tess can hardly make sense of it--Poppy can only explain with the words, 'He did kill her.' Tess is horrified. She is certain Poppy saw something--or something happened to her--that the child is too young to understand. Jason insists the weekend went off without a hitch. Doctors advise that Poppy may be reacting to her parent's separation. And as the days go on, even Poppy's disturbing memory seems to fade. But a mother knows her daughter, and Tess is determined to discover the truth. Her search will set off an explosive tempest of dark secrets and buried crimes...and more than one life may be at stake." --,Jacket flap.
