When Detective Abby Pearce is called to the Beach House, a holiday home in the most affluent part of Martha’s Vineyard, she finds five bodies. An entire family has been killed in a frenzied attack… all except one. Fifteen-year-old Karin is the only survivor. Sitting in the house, surrounded by her family, she stares into the distance and doesn’t say a word.
When Karin’s grandparents fly in to take her home, Abby’s investigation takes a shocking turn. Taking one look at the traumatised girl, they recoil—the girl curled up in a hospital bed isn’t their granddaughter. So who is she? And where is the real Karin Lavelle?
Abby fears the missing girl is in serious danger, and with local residents worried that the killer is still on the island and the press questioning her every move, she’s under pressure to solve both crimes fast. But when she uncovers a link between Thomas Lavelle’s New York office and her previous job at the NYPD, she begins to fear that these brutal murders are a sign… and that she’s next. Can she find the killer before another life is taken, or is she walking into a trap?
This fast-paced thriller is perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Mary Burton, but be warned—you won’t want to put it down!

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Dana Perry, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
YES!!! Detective Abby Pearce is back and better than ever in Dana Perry’s Silent Island. Dana Perry wrote such an incredibly fast paced, fascinating, gripping, thrilling, and totally shocking storyline that will leave you speechless at times! Seriously, once you pick up this book you won’t want to put it down till you are finished with it! Dana is a great storyteller. This is why I highly suggest you add it to your TBR pile as this is a must read book!
Being that Silent Island is a sequel to Her Ocean Grave I highly suggest reading them in order. This way you can get the back story on Detective Abby Pearce and the other characters. It can be read as a stand alone however as Dana does refresh us a little bit on the characters. For those who have read the first book in the series we get caught up with what the characters have been up to.
WOW!! Just WOW!! Dana wastes no time whatsoever by leaving me speechless with my mouth wide open as I read the prologue! I couldn’t believe what I was reading!
Words can not express how I felt reading about the horrific tragedy that happened in this book! The details he wrote just tugged so hard on my heart strings so much!!
This to me was better than any crime thriller I have read! Why? Because you had the mystery of who killed the family and why? Why was the eldest daughter spared?!
The Island had so many twists and turns if you blinked you would have missed something! Yes, it was that fast paced!
After learning along with Abby who Lincoln really is I can honestly say I am no longer a fan of his either.
Dana incorporates and brings awareness to some very important issues in Abby’s storyline.
I loved how the storyline was placed in beautiful and picturesque Martha’s Vineyard.
The mention of Upstate New York put a smile on my face as I reside in NY State!
