Story4 out of 5 stars 55
Jonah Baum sees his ordinary life come tumbling down when his wife and young daughter vanish from their home. No evidence of a kidnapping. No sign of murder. No proof that Rebecca didn’t simply abandon her marriage. Just Sally’s crude and chilling drawings, Jonah’s little lies, and the sheriff’s nagging fears that nothing is what it seems. For Sally’s best friend, Lucinda, it’s something else. She trusts Sally not to just disappear, not after they’ve shared so many secrets - especially about the woods and what they saw there. But she’ll never tell. No one would believe her anyway.

Story4 out of 5 stars 320
There once was a killer who knew the night, its secrets and rhythms. How to hide within its shadows. When to hunt. He roamed from town to town, city to city, choosing his prey for their beauty and innocence. His cruelties were infinite, his humanity long since forfeit. But still... he had not yet discovered how to make his special mark among monsters, how to come fully alive as Death. This is the story of how he learned those things, and of what we might do to ensure that he does not visit us.

Two words: the bullet. That's all it takes to shatter her life. Caroline Cashion is beautiful, intelligent, a professor of French literature. But in a split second, everything she's known is proved to be a lie. A single bullet, gracefully tapered at one end, is found lodged at the base of her skull. Caroline is stunned. It makes no sense: She has never been shot. She has no entry wound, no scar. Then, over the course of one awful evening, she learns the truth.

Jessup Burke, a lonely, naïve 16-year-old, has grown up without a father in a jobless, indifferent logging town. Out of high school a year early, he now bikes through the woods with his fishing gear, daydreaming of his sweetheart and their secret "home" in an abandoned farmhouse. When Reg, an embittered, paranoid recluse fresh out of jail for growing marijuana, encounters Jessup hitchhiking, he is at first drawn to the boy's easily manipulated naïveté, but the two soon become irreversibly bound.

Publisher's Summary
Frank Rath thought he was done with murder when he turned in his detective's badge to become a private investigator and raise a daughter alone. Then the police in his remote rural community of Canaan find an '89 Monte Carlo abandoned by the side of the road, and the beautiful teenage girl who owned the car seems to have disappeared without a trace. Soon Rath's investigation brings him face to face with the darkest abominations of the human soul.
With the consequences of his violent and painful past plaguing him and young women with secrets vanishing one by one, he discovers once again that even in the smallest towns on the map, evil lurks everywhere - and no one is safe.

Warning: This is ONLY Chapter One
I should have been told that this is single part of a story. I HATE THAT. Don't leave a song or a novel unresolved. If I need to buy a series of books to satisfy the questions that arise in the earlier ones... Let me decide from the beginning if I want to invest that sort of time.
Frankly, after reading "The Silent Girls" - I don't.
This is not a novel, it is part of one. Fuhgedaboud it.

Too much contempt, not enough story
What disappointed you about The Silent Girls?
This author seems to have contempt for a lot of things: rich people, poor people, ugly people, fat people, teenage girls who have sex, men who have sex without an intention to commit, people who eat fatty foods, conservatives, and Christians -- not to mention housecats, which he really despises.
I think the author was trying to establish a "gritty" feel to the narrative by describing so many people (and cats!) with disgust, but it was wearying. (If you want to read this technique done right, read George R.R. Martin, who uses it more sparingly and with humor.)
The characters who were not evil were childishly volatile and a little slow on the uptake. Detective stories either need to wow the reader with the cleverness of the detective, or fascinate the reader with compelling characters. The main character here was a bit dense and not sympathetic, so it was hard to stick it out to the end.
Has The Silent Girls turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, there are plenty of better detective novels.
Would you listen to another book narrated by R. C. Bray?
Maybe. The narration was well done. But perhaps the contempt element of the story was overdone in the narration.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Silent Girls?
What was the point of including the parts about the backaches? And the ending was ridiculous! (spoiler:) A drifter turns into a clever criminal...how?
Any additional comments?
There is a scene where the main character sits in a Stickley chair in the office of a (ready, set, sneer!) rich person, and his back pain goes away.
Damn that 1%! They get to sit in comfortable chairs! The hero deserves a comfortable chair! Even though he ignores all his doctor's advice about his back! Because he's the hero! And he's not a rich person!
Good grief. A little homework would have helped here, aside from toning down the ham handed class struggle. Because Stickley chairs are not very comfortable.

This is on my top-ten best listens easily. The narration was excellent, and the story really grabbed me and kept my interest the whole way through. I liked Rath, the main character, and the psychology of his past vs present was interesting to me. Highly recommend.

Low key narration great story
If you could sum up The Silent Girls in three words, what would they be?
Great narration~winding story~satisfying ending
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved the main character! He is very "Boschesk"
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. As I listened hope there will be another with this story line.
Any additional comments?
Give this story more than one listen. It will start to grab you by the third chapter.

Like the characters
I liked the characters that made up this story. The narrator did a good job of bringing them to life. A girl is missing, a retired cop is asked to help find her. Meanwhile, other missing and murdered girls seem to fit in with this equation of his missing girl. Rath's own teenage daughter isn't answering her phone sending up another alarm. It's one puzzle piece at a time, that eventually fit together for a real edge of seat thriller. However, the ending was another story (namely a cliffhanger, Ugh!) "Lie in Wait" isn't the sequel, but the author commented in Goodreads that he is working on the sequel. So, you may want to wait on it before listening to this one, cause it's quite a big cliff.

Bleak no story arc
The protagonist, who carries the story, is a sorry lad who hurts in all possible dimensions, and his bleak life grinds on until it gets worse. He has (and we spend most of the book with him) absolutely no sense of humor. The story makes little sense, nothing is resolved, and it ends just on the point of dramatic climax, a kind of author's cowardice, showing the author's unwillingness to describe the final dramatic scenes.
