Publisher's summary

What happens when someone's too scared to speak?

Ex-police officer Sebastian Clifford had decided to limit his work as a private investigator, until Detective Constable Bird, aka Birdie, asks for his help.

Twelve months ago a young girl was abandoned on the streets of Market Harborough in shocking circumstances. Since then the child has barely spoken. With the police unable to trace her identity, they've given up.The social services team in charge of the case worry that the child has an intellectual disability, but Birdie and her aunt – who’s fostering the little girl – disagree.They believe she’s gifted and intelligent, but something bad happened and she’s living in constant fear.

Clifford trusts Birdie’s instinct, and together they work to find out who the girl is so she can be freed from the past. But as secrets are uncovered, the pair realise it's not just the child who’s in danger....

Speak No Evil is the second in the Detective Sebastian Clifford series. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Matt Brolly and Joy Ellis.

Enjoyable

I love the interaction between Seb and Birdie. The story was great. I enjoyed that it was a good story with a good plot but that it didn’t have the darkness that often happens in police procedurals / detective novels.

Fabulous!

I thought I couldn't love another group of characters as much as in the Cavendish and Walker series, but I do! Keep on, Ms. Rigby, you're the best!

The new very likable series.

I enjoy all of Sally Rigbys books, but the serial killer thing can get old after a while so I’m very glad that she changed course. These characters are likable in the story interesting. Looking forward to the third installment.

Emotional rollercoaster and well worth the ride

This book will take you along on many different paths, testing your own deductive powers and surprising you still. The ending was perfect. I am looking forward to traveling along on the next adventure for Seb and Birdie.

EXCELLENT NARRATION

I've just finished listening to parts 1 and 2 of the Sebastian Clifford series and was delighted with both. The stories were interesting, the character developments were quite good, and the narration by Keeble was excellent. I'd not heard of author Sally Rigby before (shame on me) but will be searching for her name on future listens.

Great series with some hiccups...

I'm enjoying this new offspring from the Cavendiah and Walker series. The narration is great and the characters have alot of personality and interesting storylines to share. The only real problem is that right before the plot is revealed, the writting getting muddled and a bit ridiculous, then it clears up towards the ending. A hiccup in an otherwise good story.

WOW Even better than book 1

I love this new series. Birdie is a hoot and the camaraderie between her and Sebastian feels real. My only complaint is it was toooooo short. The story line filled the book, it did not feel rushed, but I it was over too fast. i Like books that are longer, like around 10-12 hours minimum
