AlbakiReads Editorial A shared house under mounting psychological strain
A shared house under mounting psychological strain
Set in an old Blackheath house shared by artists, The Silence brings together Jenny, a concert violinist unable to speak after a teenage catastrophe, and Jonah, an actor carrying a traumatic past. Jenny’s reliance on pain medication becomes an escalating addiction, while the household’s apparent refuge gives way to instability and danger. The novel frames its suspense around damaged memories, dependence, silence, and the pressure of living closely with people whose inner lives are not fully visible. An opening emergency call signals that the consequences will extend beyond private struggle.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of psychological suspense set in enclosed domestic spaces
- Readers interested in fiction about trauma, addiction, and concealed pasts
- Readers who enjoy artist-household settings with escalating danger

'I raced through this book, at a rate of knots. And, oh my, I wasn't expecting what the author delivered! Shocks aplenty, I can tell you!' Amazon Top 500 Reviewer★★★★★
Jonah never thought he had it in him to kill a woman, but he was wrong. She was lying at his feet.
He had to make the call. Grabbing the receiver on the old landline phone, he dialled in the number. It took so long for the dial to turn back. 9 click-click-click, 9 click-click-click, 9 click-click-click.
'Which service do you require?'
'Ambulance ‒police ‒both.' Her scream still drilled in his ear even though she was silent. He'd only thought to shut her up. 'I think I've hurt someone.'
When Jenny, a concert violinist, moves to an atmospheric old house in Blackheath, it seems like the answer to her prayers. The eccentric owner, Bridget, is keen to share her house with like-minded artists and also living there is the charismatic actor, Jonah, who is dogged by his traumatic past; both a curse and a blessing as his edgy persona gains traction in the acting world.
Jenny is herself battling demons; unable to speak after a catastrophic incident when she was a teenager, she is reliant on strong painkillers to dull the constant pain. Gradually, an insidious addiction takes hold and Jenny's life spirals out of control.
The housemates find themselves battling to save not only their sanity, but also their lives...
