Publisher's summary

Six years ago, Jack Till helped Wendy Harper disappear. But now her ex-boyfriend and former business partner, Eric Fuller, is being framed for her presumed murder in an effort to smoke her out, and Till must find her before tango-dancing assassins Paul and Sylvie Turner do. With masterful plotting and unnerving psychological insight, Thomas Perry delivers another mesmerizing thrill ride.

Good read

You fell into these peoples lives and felt for them. The time of the book gave you depth of character. Only issue the girls voice by a male reader is not that great. But loved it and will read more from the author!

Another tasty multi-layered character cake

Thomas Perry again captivates with not only the exciting plot but the typical character discovery he presents in books. I am always amazed at the attention to detail he provides that helps the reader inhabit different characters. This struck me at one particular point, one character was discussing the quality of another's hands giving an evocative picture of refinement.
Michael Kramer nailed it. The story crackled.

I loved this one and Metzger's Dog too, great!

Just the right of believable mystery. This is the 4th of Perry's book and next to Metzger's dog or maybe equal to it this book is great.

Too many mispronounding comon Calif. cities & stre

What did you love best about Silence ?

The premise is good. Stayed interested. Didn't like how the ending wrapped up everything with no explanation or clue on how that was done. Tkhe ending was disappointing. I found the mis pronouncing of common California cities and streets irritating. La Canada is pronounced La canyada. Than's just one example.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Too pat. Seemed like a rush to finish the book without explaining how it was done.

Have you listened to any of Michael Kramer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. He has a wonderful voice. I just recommend when it doubt about how a city or well known streets are correctly pronounced, find out the correct pronunciation.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No.

Cliffhanger alert!

I liked it, unique characters, unusual storyline. Enough to keep me wanting more...maybe, but book 2 is not an automatic download for me.
