Review by
Claire Askew’s The Dead Don’t Speak is a haunting and atmospheric thriller that hinges on a deeply unsettling concept: when a family member dies in suspicious circumstances, the only witness left is someone who can’t speak.
Askew weaves tension expertly, using subtle psychological chills rather than overt horror. Her prose is crisp and evocative, painting a chilling portrait of grief, guilt, and growing paranoia. The protagonist’s slow unraveling is compelling and believable, while the eerie, unspoken presence of the dead keeps the pages turning.
A lean, suspenseful debut with just the right amount of psychological depth—ideal for fans of quiet, character-driven chills
