"...Suddenly the weight of this city with its sordid history and glimmering limousines and hordes of invisible, trampled people feels heavier than I can possibly bear."

"I hesitate, pen hovering over the scrap of paper. My throat aches, so many unsaid words backed up into the limited space behind my tonsils, years of painful truths and fears left unspoken.
I love you, I scribble at last-because that's all that really matters, isn't it?"

Carrie Underwood's Blown Away played in my mind throughout the reading of this book. And We'll Never Tell by Wendy Heard certainly blew me away. Heard combines two different narratives, letters, and newspaper articles to craft a murder mystery like no other. This novel is fraught with emotion, electrified with intensity. My absolute only complaint was the fact that I thought there would be a connection to Casey's mom - there was a sense of closure around it, but that case wasn't solved like I expected it to be. Still, a stunning read and I cannot wait to delve into more of Heard's works.
