Main characters are great but the secondary.. bleh

I now know why this family is messed up. I felt the "dark ugly secret" was stressed as the key obstacle in this family this issue was handled tactfully. The mother (groan) she makes the deep dark secret a walk in the park. I take that back the "mothers" are intrusive and shallow after subjecting their children to what they did you would think "the mom's" would show some compassion.

Just read Dead Giveaway woo hoo there is some justice you'll notice another reviewers comments, "I found it difficult to like or come to care for Allie's father or Clay's mother." This person is right on. I enjoyed the main characters but the secondary are well ecky.

A deeply emotional and touching story

Grace Montgomery has not been able to accept her boyfriend's proposal of marriage because of her past and has decided to go back home in order to put her past behind her for the sake of the future.

When Grace arrives in her hometown of Stillwater, Mississippi she realizes that not a lot has changed in the thirteen years she's been gone. The town's people never accepted her or her family when Reverend Barker married her mother and moved them to this small town. When the Reverend went missing that fateful night thirteen years ago, the people of Stillwater never let them forget that they believed her family was responsible for killing him, even though a body had never been found. With Grace's return, the old rumors of murder start up again and it would seem that someone knows exactly what happened that night and is determined to bring it to light.

Grace has to decide how best to protect herself and her family, but the only way to do that is by trusting Kennedy Archer, the boy who didn't pay any attention to her in school and the man who can't seem to stay away from her now. Does Kennedy have Grace's best interests at heart or will his need to protect his children and his campaign for mayor put Grace in the line of fire?


Dead Silence is the first in the new Stillwater, Mississippi series by Brenda Novak that is sure to be a captivating and thrilling hit with readers. In this exciting story you get introduced to the Montgomery family and the diverse people of Stillwater that provide the foundation for the series.

Dead Silence is a deeply emotional and touching story that had me desperate to learn more. Grace is a very strong woman that has been through so much in her life that you can just feel her pain as it radiates off the pages and has you hopeful that she will find some peace. Kennedy has also had his share of pain being a widower with two sons to take care of ; his love for his family shines through his pain. There seems to be a lot of darkness in the town of Stillwater, which gives it such a realistic, suspenseful feel, and will have you holding your breath waiting to see what will happen next. Brenda Novak has outdone herself with this first exhilarating story in what is sure to be another hit series. I cannot wait to get started on the next book Dead Giveaway.

One of the better books I've read in a long time

Fabulous characters...I actually found myself caring for these people. The plot was fairly different and you're sure to feel empathy for the true victims of the heinous crime. It's an age old story of "who really is the victim?" Several times throughout a character says something about believing in justice. This book makes it clear that justice is viewed differently in the town of Stillwater. Innocent until proven guilty means nothing to the town's residents who are all too eager to persecute without anything stronger than heresay as a basis. I agree with the others who have mentioned its best to have the other books ready to go as you won't be able to just 'stop' this story until you've reached the conclusion.

Let's break the Silence--This book is phenomenal!

Brenda Novak does it again. Dead Silence is a mysterious, intriguing, intense and at the same time heart warming page turner. Brenda knows how to keep us in suspense and welcome the reader into the lives of her very real and endearing characters. I highly recommend this book and after reading the excerpt of her new book Dead Giveaway-- I know it will follow in the same tradition of excellent writing and suspenseful developments which make every page memorable.


good surprise read

I have never read anything by Brenda Novak before and picked this book up on a whim. I was very pleasantly surprise. Mystery, romance, and suspense are all wrapped up in a wonderful package. I recommend highly.

There's a body buried behind a Mississippi farmhouse

Grace Montgomery knows who it is, and she knows why it happened. She was only thirteen the night it all went wrong. And now, like then, she has no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Grace left the town of Stillwater thirteen years ago, trying to forget, trying to make good. As an assistant D.A. in Jackson, she's finally achieved the success that was supposed to change her life. But it hasn't -- so she's come back to confront her own history. Which means returning to the farmhouse now owned by her brother and facing the people of Stillwater, a number of whom suspect the truth.

Widower Kennedy Archer is one of those people. He's running for mayor and needs to stay as far away from Grace as possible. And yet…she's an enigma he can't resist. Even though her enemies are close to finding out what really happened -- and that could ruin them both.
