The Silent Watcher

Quotes

“Saskia Maarleveld is an outstanding narrator. When the audiobook begins, Maarleveld is subtle and understated as she details the developing relationship between Danes and Grace. But once the killer is caught, there are twists around every corner. Maarleveld gives a versatile performance, whether as Detective Lazarus Holloway, who aids Danes in her efforts, or as the attorney defending the killer. The precise and well-drawn characters express the right intensity at every turn. When the novel reaches its surprising conclusion, Maarleveld is at her finest.” —AudioFile Magazine“This book is a creepy thrill.” —Leslie Zemeckis, Montecito Journal“This gritty thriller is a fantastic but disquieting and scary-to-think-about start to the series. The author’s experience as a lawyer added to the authenticity of the courtroom and other legal aspects of the plot. Gripping scenes and a well-crafted and riveting plot hooked me from the very beginning. It is unsettling at times, but this is balanced with thoughtful moments of Piper with her grandmother and with Sophie as well as some emotional scenes. The book was a page-turner that kept me engaged throughout the storyline.” —Pam Guynn, Mystery and Suspense Magazine
