Praise for A Time for Silence:

"Haunting, gripping - I couldn't put it down."

Lindsay Ashford , author of the Megan Rhys series

"A skilfully crafted novel in dual time.... There is a lot of wisdom about human nature in this gripping novel, with both dark and light portrayed realistically..."

Alex Martin author of The Twisted Vine

"...after a few short chapters I was hooked... Piece by piece, she builds these women's lives until they sneak into our affections. The most chilling part of Thorne Moore's skill is the way that she represents evil."

Helen Tozer, sideline jelly

“A Time for Silence is a true page turner, and as the tale grows in momentum, it graduates from chilling to horrific, as it tells of one woman's fixation with a past that should have remained closed.”
