Charlotte Graham is at the center of the most famous kidnapping in Chicago history.
The task force of FBI and local cops found her two abductors, killed them, rescued her, but it took four very long years. The fact she was found less than three miles from her home, had been there the entire time, haunts them. She’s changed her identity, found a profession she loves, and rebuilt her life.
She’s never said a word–to the cops, to her doctors, to family–about those four years.
A family legacy has brought her back to Chicago where a reporter is writing a book about the kidnapping. The cops who worked the case are cooperating with him. Her options are limited: Hope the reporter doesn’t find the full truth, or break her silence about what happened. And her silence is what has protected her family for years.
Bryce Bishop doesn’t know her past, he only knows she has coins to sell from her grandfather’s estate–and that the FBI director for the Chicago office made the introduction. The more he gets to know Charlotte, the more interested he becomes, an interest encouraged by those closest to her. But nothing else is working in his favor–she’s decided she is single for life, she struggles with her faith, and she’s willing to forego a huge inheritance to keep her privacy. She’s not giving him much of an opening to work with.
Charlotte wants to trust him. She needs to tell him what happened. Because a crime cops thought was solved, has only opened another chapter…

Summary
Overall Unspoken is Dee Henderson back on top of her game. Unspoken had me unsettled. Unspoken had me repeating over and over… it’s not real, it’s not real. I almost
prayed for one of the characters one night. I was drawn to Charlotte from the opening scenes. She was not the overwhelming victim that I felt Ann was in Full Disclosure.
Charlotte had issues but was a successful adult. I loved how she introduced herself to Bryce and how she led him to where she needed him. (There is a book trailer that gives you a glimmer into that opening scene). Charlotte is in charge of liquidating her grandfather’s estate. She is the survivor of a kidnapping. She never told anyone what happened. Dee gives you just enough info to send your imagination into overdrive. Bryce was a take charge kind of guy although not your typical lawman or military man. I loved that no challenge was too big for him. Not every day you see your hero as a coin dealer. For those who read Full Disclosure, Ann and Paul play an active secondary role in this book. Charlotte’s friends, Jake and Ellie were two additional secondary characters that added depth to the story and could lead to their own book. There are several more things I could say but I do not want to spoil it for you. It is a book you want to talk to your friends about once you finish. I recommend this book.
Violence It discusses a kidnapping and their time with the kidnapper however this is in the past.
