Perfect Silence

DI Callanach, Book 4

By: Helen Fields

Narrated by: Robin Laing

‘Relentless pace, devilish cleverness and a laser-sharp focus on plot.’ Chris Brookmyre

This audiobook includes an exclusive piece, written by Helen Fields, on the development of DI Callanach’s character throughout the series.

When silence falls, who will hear their cries?

The body of a young girl is found dumped on the roadside on the outskirts of Edinburgh. When pathologists examine the remains, they make a gruesome discovery: the outline of a doll carved into the victim’s skin.

DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach are struggling to find leads in the case, until a doll made of skin is found nestled beside an abandoned baby.

After another young woman is found butchered, Luc and Ava realise the babydoll killer is playing a horrifying game. And it’s only a matter of time before he strikes again. Can they stop another victim from being silenced forever – or is it already too late?

Critic reviews

‘Deliciously dark and gritty, Perfect Silence will glue your fingers to the page and make the hairs stand on the back of your neck. Another winner from the hugely talented Helen Fields.’ Caroline Mitchell

‘Compelling, breathtaking and a tense ride from that unbelievable opening scene right to the last word. Brilliant!’ Angela Marsons

‘Must read! With nail-biting twists at every turn, [Perfect Remains] will have readers gripped from start to finish.’ Closer

‘Read it in two sittings. I literally had no choice. A fast and enthralling thriller, pitting a new, very human hero against one of the scariest psychos I've yet encountered in crime fiction.’ Sunday Times bestseller, Paul Finch

‘Without doubt, this is one of the best first detective series I have read.’ Woman’s Way Magazine

‘Genuinely chilling.’ Saga Magazine

‘Watch out Rebus, McRae and Perez there’s a new detective in the running to become Scotland’s fictional top cop…a real cracker of a page-turner that is truly difficult to put down.’ Scotland Correspondent

Good outing except for some narrator choices

The “villain” voice did not fit the character of a man who could lure a woman into his car for dinner at a pub. Otherwise, an engaging mystery and interesting personal developments in the squad.

Helen did it again!

This was a tough read at times due to some of the horrific events. But like any other train wreck shall I say. I could not stop listening.

nothing but praise

these are some of my favorite books. I love how the investigate more than one crime in each book and I also love how unique and twisted these cases are. I also appreciate that in the end it's never a happy ending. there is so much that happens. And the narrator I feel there should be some award for his performance he does each character so well I forget that I am listening to one man read a book.

Love this author!

Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
I’d recommend all Helen Fields books.

Intriguing and extremely well written

Another amazing book by Helen Fields, performed splendidly by Robin Laing. I highly recommend this series of D. I. Callanach murder mysteries. Ms. Fields expertly weaves the story which always leaves me longing for more.
