Five days before Halloween, fall turns frightful when a child's drawing entangles Olivia in a murder at a park lake. Olivia Penn's hometown of Apple Station, Virginia, is gearing up for its annual Halloween festival. All is cozy in the crisp fall air, and pumpkins, corn mazes, and autumn vibes are everywhere. A lakeside picnic with her forever friend, though, sets off a shocking chain of events that catches Olivia in the wrong place at the wrong time. When a body is discovered amid an algae bloom under mysterious circumstances, everyone points fingers, but one among them is not telling the truth. The only apparent witness to the crime is a child who doesn't speak. Motives abound, suspects are plenty, and it's up to Olivia to discover why the child has implicated her as the key to solving the murder. Can Olivia unmask the killer before the endangered evidence vanishes? Or will she become the next victim and be silenced forever? If you like Clue, Nancy Drew, and small town, cozy mysteries with heart and humor, a charming cast of characters, and a twisty plot, you'll love Silence Says the Most, the second book in The Olivia Penn Mystery Series.
