Review: Don't Say a Word by Allison Brennan

Author: Allison Brennan
Publisher: Mira
Publication Date: September 2025

The police ruled Elijah Martinez’s death an accidental drug overdose, but the teen’s grieving mother isn’t convinced. With the case officially closed, Angelhart Investigations is the only one who can help her find the truth. Margo Angelhart’s sure this will be an easy solve—she’ll talk to Elijah’s friends and employer, retrace his steps, and figure out what happened in his final hours.

Except none of his friends believe he did drugs, and the teacher who’s been vocal about the police mishandling the case turns up dead. Every thread Margo pulls leads back to a dangerous drug ring that once ran through the school.

When Margo’s brother Jack, a former cop, can’t get straight answers out of the police, they don’t know if it’s because of an active case…or a cover-up. Margo’s only sure of one thing—she has to find out what really happened to Elijah before more teens become pawns in a twisted scheme.

Don't Say a Word is the second book in the Angelhart Investigations series. This time around, Margo and her family are investigating the death of a teen.  The police say overdose, but his mother is convinced that he was murdered.  This series is definitely becoming a favorite series of mine. 

 I love the relationship that Margo has with her family and how they all work well together.  The mystery in this one was really good.  While I figured out who was behind everything fairly early on, I still enjoyed watching Margo and Jack figure out all out. I had parts of the puzzle, but didn't have how they all fit together.  It was nice that Margo got some closure with her ex. Also, I'm excited at the possibility that there may be a romance with someone else in the future.  I look forward to the next book!
