Silent Suspect
About the Book
It
started with a phone call. Just one word - ‘Jessica’ - and now Detective
Inspector Jessica Daniel has a big problem.
Her missing friend, Bex, called from a battered seaside payphone and yet, by the time Jessica arrived, there was nobody there.
One man claims he can help – but then he turns up on a beach stabbed to death.
Jessica believes someone must be framing her. Someone who is always a step ahead. When she finds a boy whose tattoo matches Bex's, she becomes more desperate than ever for answers. But, with the police growing more suspicious, Jessica doesn’t have long to find Bex before she becomes the prime suspect for a murder.
With more than her career at stake, can Jessica clear her name - and find her friend - before it’s too late for them both?
My Review
I am so glad
to see the return of Jessica Daniel in Silent Suspect, book 13 in the
series.
This continues on from book 12, with the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of Bex, and this time we find ourselves
travelling with Jessica from her beloved home town of Manchester to the seaside
town of Blackpool, which surprisingly enough I have good knowledge of having
visited when I was younger and quite often visiting each year to see the
illuminations and my parents now live not far from there as well.
Jessica is called to Blackpool by a mysterious
telephone call by a voice saying her name and that’s all. She traces this call to a phone box to
Blackpool and off she goes to track Bex’s down.
As usual things don’t go according to plan nor how Jessica thinks or
wants them to go and we follow Jessica on her mission to find Bex.
The book had the usual amount of intrigued and
mystery in and was so lovely to be back reading all about Jessica and the
search for Bex. I felt I was back in the
fold and part of the story.
I cannot wait for the next book in the series and
in the meantime I am lucky enough to have a few of Kerry’s other books to read
in the meantime.
