Silenced Sisters

Detective Morgan Brookes, Book 17

De: Helen Phifer

Narrado por: Alison Campbell

A gripping and utterly binge-worthy crime thriller

Thunder rattles the windows of the deserted hotel. Morgan spots the young girl on the floor, her dark hair fanned out and covered in shattered glass. Lightning strikes, illuminating the blood on every surface.

Following an emergency call in the middle of a fierce storm, Detective Morgan Brookes arrives at Keswick Manor, a crumbling, empty hotel in the Lake District, where she finds the dead body of a young woman. She recognises her bright blue eyes instantly. Lauren Williams’ body is still warm to the touch, a knife protruding out of her chest, just like the one that killed her sister, Lydia, one month ago. But the killer in that case is dead…

Morgan can’t imagine the horror Lauren went through as she combs the scene; a broken radio on the stairs suggest she was running from someone. Lauren knew her sister was murdered, did she know she was next? Grief-stricken, Morgan sets to work on Lydia’s case files and refuses to sleep until she’s uncovered any small clue she missed. But by the time she discovers they had another sister, the poor girl is reported missing, her pink car found abandoned in the local woods surrounded by overgrown brambles.

When Morgan spots a police identification number scribbled in the family’s old police files, she realises that one of her colleagues has been lying to her. The idea that someone at HQ is in league with a serial killer would send terrifying shockwaves through Rydal Falls, but Morgan can think of no other explanation. Can she save the final sister and catch this killer as a terrifying countdown begins? Or with evil closer than she thinks, watching Morgan’s every move, is she already in too much danger?

Fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan and Rachel Abbott will devour this gripping rollercoaster crime thriller late into the night.

Another Awesome Installment

When a young woman is found murdered in an abandoned hotel, there are a lot of similarities with another case, one that was already closed. But the team cannot ignore what they are seeing, a signature that was not released to the public.
As the case progresses, there is more going on than first thought, and when it is revealed that three sisters have been murdered, there are more questions than answers.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a great addition to the series, and I cannot wait to see what will happen in the next book! This case though had me hooked from the start, and once I started the book, I could not put it down. I read it through it one sitting.

I love the ppl in this series

Loved it all. Sorry to see Angela’s death of course. Can’t wait for the next book.
