Publisher's Summary
He’d found an angel for his collection. But one angel at a time was never enough...
Detective Beth Young has just joined the Cumbrian major crimes team when a body is found posed in a ritualistic manner - arms spread and graceful wings attached - at a crumbling castle in the hills of the Lake District.
The entire police force are on red alert. But Beth begins to feel she’s the only one who can follow the disturbing clues left by the twisted killer. Because she doesn’t think like everyone else. To Beth, crimes are puzzles she can solve. Even if real life is a little harder.
As more bodies are discovered in derelict stately homes across the Lake District, she knows she’s in a race against time.
But the killer is looking for another victim to add to his collection…Will Beth be able to save her? Or will he get there first?
A tenacious young detective with scars both physical and emotional, Beth Young will stop at nothing in her fight for justice for the innocent. The Silent Dead is the first book in the series. Set in the Lake District, it is perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, LJ Ross, and Peter James.
What the critics say
"Every now and again something stunning comes along, and now is that time… Not only is the story original, and compelling, but the main character is one of the best fictional Police Detectives I’ve had the pleasure to be introduced to… A great book, just stunning." (Nigel Adams Bookworm, 5 stars)
"Graham Smith is excellent at creating characters which lead the reader to make assumptions about them before he picks away and slowly reveals what lies... A great start to what promises to be an exciting new series." (Chapter in my Life)

I didn't hate it
but I didn't love it. It really felt like a first attempt, or like a sub par version of a better book. The plot was kind of interesting (although the conclusion was so rushed and a little pat), but the characters were either unreasonably awful, achingly one dimensional, or both. The lead character, I don't know, there was something off about the way she was written. She was a little too perfect. Even her flaws were perfect- she's model gorgeous, but with a disfiguring scar on one side of her face from getting caught in a bar fight, and it only serves to make her more appealing. She's new on the job, but somehow she's smarter and more sensible then the vets on her team, literally telling her boss to pull herself together at one point. It was all a bit much.
I think the series might improve as it goes. This one wasn't great, but it was still entertaining.
