I have not been so impressed by a debut novel in a long time, and I'm actually now itching for more D.I. Kim Stone is like the British Jane Rizzoli. She's so ballsy and doesn't understand the meaning of the word no. I LOVE heroines who just do what they want and sod the consequences and Kim did that, right from the beginning... I can't wait for the second book, because this one was a top-notch crime thriller. Leah Loves
I don't think I've been so hooked by a new author since the discovery of Mark Edwards or Mark Billingham Silent Scream gets 5 stars from me - if you finish a crime thriller feeling like you just need to have a lie-down and a cup of tea to get your breath back, then the writer has done their job. Angela Marsons, I still don't have my breath back. Reading Room with a View
Normally when I see everybody rating a book five stars I think 'Is it really that good?' Silent Scream is that good, and then some The only problem Angela now faces is keeping up this standard as the series progresses, but if she does than she's going to be an author to watch and a huge star within the genre.
