Vierzig Jahre Schweigen: Karin Slaughters neuer SPIEGEL-Bestseller zeichnet das aufrüttelnde Portrait eines grausamen Mordes

Ein Mädchen mit einem Geheimnis ...
Ein kleiner Ort an der US-Ostküste, 1982: Sorgfältig macht sich die siebzehnjährige Emily Vaughn für ihren Abschlussball zurecht. Doch sie verbirgt ein Geheimnis, das ihr am Ende des Abends zum Verhängnis werden soll.

Ein ungelöster Mord ...
Nicht nur Emily wurde in der Horrornacht vor vierzig Jahren zum Schweigen gebracht. Ihre Freunde und Familie haben sich abgeschottet, die Gemeinde spricht nicht über das brutal ermordete Mädchen. Aber dem malerischen Küstenort steht ein gewaltiger Sturm bevor.

Eine letzte Chance, den Täter zu finden ...
US-Marshal Andrea Oliver ist aus scheinbar unverfänglichen Gründen in Longbill Beach: Sie soll eine Richterin vor Morddrohungen zu beschützen. Doch der Auftrag ist eine Tarnung. In Wirklichkeit ist Andrea auf den Spuren von Emilys Mörder – und sie muss die Wahrheit aufdecken, bevor sich die Tragödie des Jahrs 1982 wiederholt ...

Not great but not bad!
Format: Audiobook
I loved the audio and I'm so glad there were two narrators! I really loved the deconstruction rep in this book. It spoke to me in ways that felt real and authentic. I also liked the way the migraine/chronic illness was handled as well. The reason this is a 3 star to me is that I can't remember the characters names and I just finished this book. The first 50% was pretty forgettable. It was hard for me to get into that first half. The second half however, I really enjoyed! Courtney and Thea (yes I did just have to look up their names) could have used more fleshing out. Courtney's ex's threats felt like a nothing burger in the end and Courtney's running also didn't hit quite like I wish it had. The last 50% things finally get moving. These characters finally start sharing with each other and being open and vulnerable but there is still a big secret that get revealed that throws a wrench into the whole thing. Overall I did enjoy it!

Four and a half stars for this sapphic romance
Format: Paperback
I’m giving this book four and a half stars. There was a lot I really loved about it. The banter between the main characters is lovely, and there were several scenes that are just adorable. They’re complex characters though with their flaws and histories. They have depth. And how they react in a situation isn’t how you might react, but it’s right for that character. It felt truthful and in many ways relatable. I’ve got enough religious trauma that I can definitely relate, and although I’ve never been a catholic, I have what I think of as catholic guilt…in that I feel guilty for cutting my family out of my life despite the death threats, hateful comments, and constant hit my self esteem and mental health takes. I can even understand hiding physical health issues, because people definitely do treat you differently, also there’s trauma that goes back there too. I loved the play of the word stars used in the title, and how it fits both main characters so well. It’s super clever. I know some people were disappointed at this story, and I have to say that it left me going into the book feeling down about it, but instead I really enjoyed it (minus the breakup/not breakup). The ending was incredibly satisfying for me.

Entertaining
Format: Kindle
At first glance, Andie Burke’s With Stars in Her Eyes might seem like just another lighthearted romance, but it offers far more than shy smiles and meet-cute banter. This is a story built in layers, and readers will relish uncovering each one. Beneath its charm and swoon-worthy chemistry lies a thoughtful, emotionally resonant exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the courage to embrace second chances. Quick-witted, tender, and irresistibly romantic, With Stars in Her Eyes shines with both humor and heart. The story’s greatest strength lies in its characters, two women shaped by their resilience, history, and courage. Burke writes Courtney and Thea with such empathy that their inner lives feel as vivid as their love story. Courtney, once a celebrated cellist, carries the weight of chronic illness and public disappointment. Despite her setbacks, she’s learning to trust her body—and herself—again. Thea, a piercer and photographer rebuilding her life after burnout, searches for inspiration to reignite her creative spark. When their paths cross, their connection feels less like coincidence and more like fate—two people meeting at the exact moment they’re ready to be seen. Their relationship unfolds as a quiet kind of healing, an emotional duet where each helps the other find her rhythm again. Burke captures that process with tenderness and truth, reminding readers that love isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about growing through the cracks together. Beyond her skill with character development, Burke proves herself a confident storyteller who knows how to turn tropes, tension, and structure into driving forces rather than predictable shortcuts. She takes these familiar romance conventions and transforms them into genuine sources of momentum and emotional depth. The meet-cute alone—a bearded dragon, a burst of chaos, and instant chemistry—sets the tone perfectly. It’s quirky, funny, and unforgettable. From there, Burke builds in the tension of a secret-identity plot. After her career implodes onstage during a terrifying migraine, Courtney retreats from the public eye to reinvent herself. But her carefully guarded anonymity is at risk, and that fear of being found out adds delicious suspense to her growing connection with Thea, who’s searching for her own sense of belonging. Dialogue is another strong suit for Burke. The banter between Courtney and Thea feels effortless; it’s quick, clever, and full of unspoken emotion. Each exchange lands with that perfect mix of humor and hesitation, as if the characters are circling truths they’re not quite ready to say aloud. Burke strikes a graceful balance between wit and vulnerability, allowing moments of reflection to surface naturally. Nothing feels staged or heavy-handed; it’s all quietly sincere. Additionally, her prose is lush without being overdone, capturing atmosphere and intimacy in equal measure. Most striking, though, is how Burke understands that love doesn’t erase pain; it reshapes it, softening the edges and showing that healing often unfolds alongside joy. What really makes With Stars in Her Eyes resonate, though, is its depth of feeling. Burke quietly knits it into the story, not just through the external drama but the quiet, personal battles that define her characters. Courtney’s struggle with chronic illness and the lingering sting of public failure feel heartbreakingly real, and her journey toward self-acceptance is handled with such compassion that it’s impossible not to root for her. Thea’s story, too, carries its own weight; her fight to rekindle her creative spark and believe in herself again mirrors the vulnerability of starting over. When these two women meet, their connection feels like a kind of healing in motion: messy, honest, and profoundly human. Burke finds beauty in that process, showing that love doesn’t make the past disappear but softens it. In the end, it gives both women the courage to move forward and rediscover who they are. Final remarks… Ultimately, With Stars in Her Eyes isn’t just a cozy romance; it’s a tale of love, healing, and starting anew. Through her tender yet fresh storytelling, Burke invites readers to find beauty in rediscovering joy after heartbreak. The result is an emotionally rich, deeply satisfying story, perfect for readers who crave meaningful happily ever afters. Strengths… Effective use of romance tropes Storytelling filled with emotional depth and relatability Well-developed characters Rich character history Character chemistry Engaging tone and style Smooth pacing Inclusion of deeper themes Witty and engaging dialogue

beautiful story
Format: Kindle
“With Stars in Her Eyes” is a beautiful book. The characters have dealt with and are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, especially Courtney. And for Courtney especially, her past has resulted in some pretty dysfunctional thinking and behavior (quite understandably). However, while the story deals with some heavy topics, there is also a lot of humor, wonder and joy. There are so many things to love about this story — the friendship between Thea and Marshall and between Courtney and Sam; the bookshop “pets” and how they are incorporated into the story; Ms. Jeannie (who is kind of intimidating); the banter between Thea and Courtney, especially all the innuendo (intentional or not); the legal food puns; the joy and appreciation Thea experiences with her photography, especially using the older cameras and techniques she learned from her grandfather; the discussion of the books Thea and Courtney like to read; the descriptive intimate scenes; the book clubs; the lyrics of Courtney’s songs, etc.

Strong sense of place and character😍
Format: Kindle
Burke really nails emotions. I did not grow up with religious trauma, but reading about Courtney made me feel like I did. I didn't have a family that treated me like the help just because I was following my own path, but reading Thea's POV made me believe I had. It's truly a gift when an author can establish such a strong sense of place and character. I can't wait to see what she does next.😍 4.5🌟
