Publisher's summary

Edgar Award winner Andrew Klavan’s thrilling novel Don’t Say a Word follows psychiatrist Nathan Conrad as he confronts urban paranoia and murderous insanity when his family is watched, followed, and later brutalized by a twisted criminal and a mad giant who thrives on the suffering of others.

They’re watching.

They’ve wiretapped the apartment.

They’ve got their daughter.

They told them they’d hurt her if they spoke about it.

They told them, “Don’t say a word....”

Or else....

Good read

Once again, Klavan made realistic characters in a gritty situation. The only thing missing is the "E"s in "Klavan."

Thriller!

Having discovered Klavan’s podcast in 2022, I searched back to find some of his earlier novels and chose this one. The writing is riveting and I must add that the performance of the narrator absolutely brought this text to life. Excellent performance!

Not for the faint of heart with its seedy subject and foul language, but it is an incredibl

Yeesh. Good story. But..

The graphic description of the sexual excitement with pedophilia and murder almost made me stop. I don’t know if any of us should let those images exist in our minds

An Early Klavan Spellbinder

The story will keep you on edge, but the almost casual narration sometimes gets in the way, as words are sometimes not fully pronounced. I have to concede this to the narrator: his repeated cries as a kidnapped and terrified little girl get so on your nerves that you can understand how she managed to drive her kidnapper mad with rage.

Not my favorite narrator

I’ve enjoyed all Andre Klavan’s book up to now.
I just started listening so this is 3 or 4
I may have liked it better if I actually read it myself.

I found the narrator’s voice especially annoying when he spoke as a woman or a child.
Just my opinion
Won’t stop listening

A fun ride

I wasn’t sure what to expect especially after the first chapter but it was a fun ride and the story flowed well. I enjoyed listening and will find more from Klavan.

Thrilling and addictive

At times it’s hit wrenching, but the way each character has their own unique language it’s remarkable.

Bad all around

Took a dive with this book. One BIG mistake. Horrible narration. impossible to catch my attention. The 1 thing I know is that this narrator and writer are permanently off my future selections.
