Publisher's Summary

Even the darkest secrets can't stay buried forever.

Five figures gather 'round a shallow grave. They had all taken turns to dig. An adult-sized hole would have taken longer. An innocent life had been taken, but the pact had been made. Their secrets would be buried, bound in blood.

Years later a headmistress is found brutally strangled, the first in a spate of gruesome murders that shock the Black Country.

But when human remains are discovered at a former children's home, disturbing secrets are also unearthed. DI Kim Stone fast realizes she's on the hunt for a twisted individual whose killing spree spans decades.

As the body count rises, Kim needs to stop the murderer before they strike again. But to catch the killer, can Kim confront the demons of her own past before it's too late?

Fans of Rachel Abbott, Val McDermid ,and Mark Billingham will be gripped by this exceptional new voice in British crime fiction.

A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Silent Scream is the first book in the series. Watch out for Evil Games, coming soon.

Critic Reviews

"A superb debut by an assured new writer. Blending sharp wit with emotion, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride alongside DI Kim Stone and look forward to the next outing." (Mel Sherratt)
"I absolutely loved it!.... This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson! I would seriously put this book in the same league." ( Fiona's Book Reviews)

Story fair but ending too complex

Though the narrator was eloquent, I found her monotonous lack of inflection had me zoning out. Particularly when in the voice of the main perpetrator. On a few occasions I had to skip back and listen again as my mind had just drifted off due to the blah blah blah approach.
The story itself is ok and fairly well paced. Decent characters and an evolving plot. Personally though I was disappointed with the ending as even though all the dots were eventually joined up I felt there was just too much complexity (in my opinion) to make it all believable. As the Sam narrator performs the others in the series I am unlikely to listen to more.

good book with a good twist.

Did dislike that the main female character was so harden. It feels unlike all female detectives in detective books I have read before.

overall, one of the best

The story, delivery and pace is one of the best I've listened to. There was only one bit where you could see what was coming from a mile away and then we descended into the unbelievable part of events. outbreak though, great.

Who was who?

a good read that kept me guessing until the end. I did find the narrator a bit annoying. a bit hard to distinguish one character from another
