Conspiracy of Silence by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In this engrossing piece of literature we follow Nina who soon realizes that the past can never fully be escaped from. She has worked hard over the years to move on and build a better life but one day a visitor threatens to destroy all of that. With the stakes so high it was easy to become completely engaged in this tale, the author cleverly develops the plot at a pace that leaves the reader always yearning for more. Questions such as just what Nina’s secret is and the part Philip plays in all of it were always on my mind.
A real fascinating element to this book was the exploration of Nina’s relationship with her friends and husband, the scenes between them always had tenseness as Nina battled to hide the secret from them and it was really interesting to see the effect that had. Philip was a real stand-out character for me, his manipulation made for a compelling physiological aspect that left me unable to tell what the truth was and what was a lie. This doubt only made the ending more satisfying.
In summary it’s clear to me that Gledé Browne Kabongo has created something to really be proud of, she clearly has a lot of talent and I will definitely be looking out for future work from her.
