The Silent Reflection is a psychological thriller by T.L. Sturgis. When Julia Lockhart wakes up, her boyfriend Paul is gone. Julia struggles to remember the details of what took place, and she fears Paul is dead. Julia is supposed to lay low and talk to no one until her sister Meredith returns. Julia is the last person to see Paul alive, and this makes his disappearance much more serious. Years ago, when David Mitchell went missing, Detective Ward started harassing the Lockhart family. Ward suspected that the Lockhart family had crucial information about David’s disappearance. Meredith is now a relentless lawyer and battles to protect her career and the secrets of her family. Meredith has solved Julia's problems in the past, but Julia's sanity now hangs by a thread, and she is a loose end.

Dark family secrets are uncovered in The Silent Reflection. This is a captivating thriller by T.L. Sturgis, filled with secrets, action, and murder. I was intrigued from the start and could not turn the pages fast enough. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a page-turner that kept me guessing until the very end. The characters were authentic and relatable. Meredith was strong and would go to great lengths to keep her family’s secrets safe. I did not have much respect for Julia; despite all the support she got from her sister, she was not willing to change. The story is well-written and left me questioning the darkness within us. The major twist at the end was a big surprise; I did not expect it.
