Silenced For Good by Alex Coombs

5.0

Loved it. The audiobook is available on Scribd and even though I didn't always understand the Scottish accents the narrator added to this gritty murder mystery, I had no trouble following the plot. Loved the atmosphere and moody setting of a small island with lots of places to hide the bodies. DCI Hanlon is an angry, disillusioned and somewhat bitter cop about to be fired for her overly aggressive approach to policing. She is told to relax and ponder her future while on vacation only to arrive on the same day the body of a young woman is discovered. Hanlon is very good at gathering information, especially when she discovers some unsavory activities taking place in her hotel. Hard to know who to trust when everyone in this tight knit community are less than truthful.

Terrific start to this series. Thanks for the recommendation, Corrie. Looking forward to more Hanlon time.
