The Unspoken Truth

This was a great fifth book in the Cora Lael Mystery series, it has that writing style that I was looking for from the previous four books. The characters were written perfectly and glad it was what I wanted. M J White always has a great tense atmosphere and enjoyed the characters overall. It left me wanting to read more in this world and from M J White.

She won her freedom. Now someone wants her silenced in The Unspoken Truth by M.J. White. This book dives into how the opinion of a certain section of the media can negatively affect lives.

After serving nine years of a life sentence for the manslaughter of a former beauty queen, Shona Pickton returns to her hometown, exonerated after an appeal quashed her conviction. She has always protested her innocence despite being tried and convicted by the media long before her trial.

The Unspoken Truth is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships. The author's writing style is engaging, and the characters are well-developed, making it easy to get invested in the story.

I would recommend this book. The story lingers in my mind after coming to the end and turning the final page. It's a well-written story.

Now someone wants her silenced. After serving nine years of a life sentence for the manslaughter of a former beauty queen, Shona Pickton returns to her home town of Felixstowe, exonerated after an appeal quashed her conviction. She has always protested her innocence despite being tried and convicted by the media long before her trial.

I didn’t realise this was a follow on book however you don’t need to have read the others to understand this one.

I enjoyed the book, it felt a little slow in places but overall it was good, I enjoyed learning about audio fingerprints, it was interesting and I’ve never read a book like it.

The ending i never expected, I went through every scenario but never expected that.

MJ White has done it again and delivered a gripping, immersive investigation for Suffolk CID and Dr Lael. After the explosive, gory multiple murder in the last book, is a completely different type of case and pace but with its deep sense of injustice is just a powerful. With the twists and turns, I was stilling who did what until the end.
Parts of the novel shone a spotlight on the prejudice against certain groups of society and hatred incited against them, this felt extremely poignant and relevant in light of the recent weeks and riots.
This series and closely bonded characters is one of my favourite crime thrillers and never fails to hit expectations and always leaves me wanting more. I can't wait to see what is next for the team.
