SILENT VOICES

With over 2 million Lottie Parker books sold in this criminally addictive series, this is engrossing crime fiction with real heart. She lay so still, blue eyes shining, blonde hair fanned out, her mouth stuck forever open in a soundless scream. When Rachel Mullen is found dead, her body twisted in pain, Detective Lottie Parker knows instantly that she was murdered and when she finds a shard of glass placed in the young girl's throat, she fears that Rachel may be only the first victim. The night before, Rachel had attended a party at a luxurious new restaurant in Ragmullin, and Lottie wastes no time in tracking down the other guests, but as she investigates, her worst fears are confirmed - a brilliant young doctor is found murdered, with glass in her throat. Desperate to find proof of what really happened to these women, Lottie gets close to the hostess of the party, but her hunt puts someone she is closest to in terrible danger. With descriptive language and a convincing story, this is pacy, tense, dark and gripping. 433pp, paperback.
