After the Silent Night

By Kristen Barenthaler

After the Silent Night is a haunting, heart-forward suspense novel about what happens when the past refuses to stay buried - and how far we'll go to protect the people who feel like home.

When a quiet New England town wakes to a devastating winter tragedy, novelist Elena Ward becomes the unlikely witness to a secret someone desperately wants to keep hidden. As the investigation deepens, Elena is drawn into an unexpected alliance with Detective Lucas Hale, a man carrying his own unspoken grief. Together, they unravel a trail of coded messages, fractured memories, and long-buried betrayals that point to a truth more dangerous than either imagined.

But the closer they get, the more Elena realizes the threat isn't just outside her door - it's woven into the very fabric of her past. And someone is willing to do anything to ensure the truth never sees daylight.

Perfect for readers who crave emotional suspense, slow-burn connection, and winter-drenched atmosphere, After the Silent Night blends mystery, heartache, and hope into a story that lingers long after the final page.
