À propos de cet audio

Even the darkest secrets can't stay buried forever.

Five figures gather 'round a shallow grave. They had all taken turns to dig. An adult-sized hole would have taken longer. An innocent life had been taken, but the pact had been made. Their secrets would be buried, bound in blood.

Years later a headmistress is found brutally strangled, the first in a spate of gruesome murders that shock the Black Country.

But when human remains are discovered at a former children's home, disturbing secrets are also unearthed. DI Kim Stone fast realizes she's on the hunt for a twisted individual whose killing spree spans decades.

As the body count rises, Kim needs to stop the murderer before they strike again. But to catch the killer, can Kim confront the demons of her own past before it's too late?

Fans of Rachel Abbott, Val McDermid ,and Mark Billingham will be gripped by this exceptional new voice in British crime fiction.

A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Silent Scream is the first book in the series. Watch out for Evil Games, coming soon.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A superb debut by an assured new writer. Blending sharp wit with emotion, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride alongside DI Kim Stone and look forward to the next outing." (Mel Sherratt)
"I absolutely loved it!.... This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson! I would seriously put this book in the same league." ( Fiona's Book Reviews)

I really like this series. The main character is quirky and surprisingly funny. The supporting characters are also fun! Good mystery and story and I enjoyed the performance. Big thumbs up!

Loved it! Great story and characters

Angela Marsons knows how to write a mystery. The way she puts together a plot is impeccable. Silent Scream is a strong series starter.
This was my second listen, and it held up. The characters are surprisingly well developed for a first introduction, the writing has an established style, and the story is compelling. Weird enough to capture interest, realistic enough to make an emotional impact. The twist at the end was a surprise, but the kind where it makes sense in retrospect (the best kind, in my opinion).

enjoyable

I could really enjoy this author if it wasn't for the narrator. Nothing personal, mind you but she races through the chapters at warp speed with little to no expression or change in tone. Almost monotonous and characterless - everyone sounds the same.
Too bad.

JUST OKAY

It's too bad that a witty, well-written book is read by someone who sounds like she is reading a nursery rhyme. She actually sounds condescending? She’s narrating a murder and makes it sound like a voice exercise. Her intonation is like a swing, up and down, up and down. As much as I love being read to, I am going to have to read this series as the narration is just so bad, so annoying and so unbelievably unsuitable for a crime novel. Very, very disappointing.

Witting writing, TERRIBLE narration

Police lead was over the top . Too driven and unsympathetic. She should have been suspended in chapter 9
,

Police woman who was driven and abused all and sundry
