The Silent Quarry is the first audiobook in a series of murder mysteries featuring the perceptive but reclusive and love-shy detective DI Winter Meadows.

One morning, Gwen Thomas takes a short walk with her Siberian husky in the outskirts of the Welsh town she calls home. She is drawn to a desolate area where, some 20 years ago as a teenager, she was brutally attacked and her friend killed. Disorientated by a sudden rush of memories, she has a fall. Later, recovering in hospital, she begins to recollect the events that led up to her friend’s death.

DI Winter Meadows is encouraged to reopen what has for some time been a cold case. If Gwen can remember who attacked her, it could lead to a prosecution. But not everyone wants Gwen to recover her memory. Having got over her fall, she now faces a greater danger - from whoever else knows what actually happened.

The mystery had me until the very end- which is rare for me! Interesting how memory works and how one can protect after Trauma.
This book was well written and highly recommended!

I enjoyed the story very much. Lots of intrigue and suspense, but the ending was a let down. I hated the ending. I always want to see a happy ending. This one left me feeling sad. Who wants to feel sad at the end of a story? Great writing and narration, though.

Great story! Sad ending

Tight plot yet flowed well. More police procedural scenes would have been nice for a sense of groundedness for the main character.

Good ending (surprised me)!

I got caught up in the story and characters. I didn’t expect it. Very strong story, good performance. I’ll read more in the series.

Unexpectedly Good!

The narrator’s voice sounded like a dumb cartoon character. Sorry, I know that’s harsh but it was so bad. I’ll have to actually read the next book if I’m to continue the series.

The story kept me guessing

Great story and characters. I really didn't like Matt and just knew he did it! But I had that feeling there was more to the story.

twist at the end!

I enjoyed listening to the Audible edition of The Silent Quarry and plan on reading the rest of the DI Winter Meadows books if audio versions aren't available. The story moves along and Rees-Price does a fine job of character development. While I knew post-traumatic amnesia was central to the story, I have mixed feelings about its use in the book but it is a compelling story so it was not much of a distraction. I had read A Knot of Sparrow first (4th in the series and recommended), soo I was pleased to see DI Meadow's backstory laid out well in The Silent Quarry.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and police procedurals. It is emotional rather than dry. Additionally, I recommend it to people who have an interest in Northern Wales and contemporary Welsh writers.

Good mystery set in Wales with an interesting plot

Good suspense And mystery. I couldn't figure out who did. There was a bit of a twist. Felt a little sorry for Meadow in the end.

Really good mystery
