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)

Keeps ur interest all the way thru

This British police drama is well worth a listen. Plot is really well put together as is the way the characters are developed and the twist kept me guessing right til the last chapter. Performance is good.

I loved the story

I loved the story but hated the performance of the narrator, OMG she's over acting and made the story suck. I'm saving her name to never listen to any book she narrats!!

This story was exciting from the start to the very last word. It throws a real BIG ending.

Narration

Very good story. However...the narration was awful. I slowed it to 0.9 which helped some. At about the 6 hour point I got somewhat used to the narration. Thank goodness I got it on a 2 for 1 sale.

Unpredictable, exciting, emotional

More twists and turns than a mountain road! The author reels you in to the lives of the characters, then keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what they will go through and discover next. I am anxious to go on to the next book!

A lot of fun and a good whodunnit

I enjoyed this book. It was well written and I cared about the characters.

On to book 2.

That’s all you need to know.

Keeps one engaged

Fun story though of a dark subject matter. The story gripped you, and I found myself doing more minutes on my spin bike to get through a chapter…always a good thing, especially after Thanksgiving! Liked the characters, though I found Kim’s abrasive manners and speech wearying. Good listen.
