As the reader is slowly made aware of her background, and the dire circumstances of her youth, it becomes impossible not to feel a deep empathy for her. Kim Stone's genuine friendship with her sidekick DS Bryant and her encouragement towards DS Kev Dawson and DC Stace Woods adds a real warmth to Silent Scream and Marson's flair for characterisation is evident. Having read all of KL Slater's previous novels I took the precaution of clearing my afternoon and evening before reading the first page and I'm glad I did as I barely moved from my sofa until I'd reached the end. If you are looking for a new series (well new to me, originally published in 2015 by Bookouture) with a strong female who isn't perfect but isn't plagued with booze reliance or anything of that ilk, this is for you.

El pasado de Kim y la relación personal con el resto de personajes/miembros de su equipo está presente en el libro, pero el peso del libro es la propia investigación. When the body count continues and remains are found at an old children's home Stone and her team need to work hard to catch the killer before they strike again. But as I listened I began to understand her and appreciate that she is a dedicated and passionate police officer. She pulled herself along the path on her hands as the stone bit into her palms, shards of gravel embedding beneath her fingernails.Your personal data will not be shared with any other organisations and you have the right to unsubscribe at any time. The story deals with a difficult subject and there is also graphic violence, so not for the faint hearted, but once I started I didn't want to stop listening until the end. She continues to live in the Black Country with her partner and their bouncy Labrador and potty-mouthed parrot. Piecing together the last weeks of her life reveals a keen interest in the site of a potential archaeological dig on the now derelict grounds of a former children's home where she once worked, prompting D.

By the time I finished the merry little dance on which the author led me I needed a cup of strong tea and a lie down in a dark room. I enjoyed reading about how Kim and her ‘team’ worked together in their collective aim to find the villain. Este es el primer caso de esta detective, habrá que ver qué temas trata en los siguientes y si se complementan tan bien como en este libro. Passing on the ways the murders happen (it would be like to shoot the Red Cross), how is it possible that the detectives never make a single hypothesis about who the killer is along the all book? I don't want to say too much about this book as I feel it is best to go into this book not knowing too much about plot.Years later, a headmistress is found strangled, the first in a spate of gruesome murders which shock the Black Country. The fast pace and riveting subject matter consumes the reader and provides an intense reading experience. Kaufempfehlung für alle, die Spaß an der detailreichen Darstellung von Polizeiarbeit und Psychogrammen haben. Kim is a survivor with her own history of being treated inconsequentially by a brutal childhood and a life in and out of care homes, made to feel worthless. Marsons does a wonderful job, not only with the protagonist, but the supporting characters, both good and bad.
