The Silent Man by David Fennell

4.5

This is my first introduction to author David Fennell and if The Silent Man is anything to go by it won't be my last.

As this was a cracking read.

That grabbed me from the very first page and never let go. With a storyline packed full of murder, darkness, twists and turns.

And it had me guessing until the very end. As protagonist DI Grace Archer is pulled away from a personal threat and a sick grandad to investigate the bizarre murder of Jason Todd.

And it's a murder that puzzles from the start as he is killed at home with his son in the next room. A son who is left unharmed.

But as Archer and her colleague Quinn begin to investigate danger stalks ever closer. As the threats against Archer increase. And there's a big chance neither Archer or Quinn will live long enough to see this case through.

And what a case it is!!

And with plenty of shocks, humour, macabre moments which I loved and a  killer I did not expect. This was a truly brilliant read. That I'd thoroughly recommend to others and I'll definitely be reading the books I've missed out on in this series. Just as soon as I can.

My thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of The Silent Man.
