Silenced for Good

By: Alex Coombs

Narrated by: Carolyn Bonnyman

## Can she catch the killer before someone else is silenced for good...?

Detective Hanlon is addicted to violence. She likes the rush, the danger, the losing control...

When Hanlon is suspended from the force for assaulting a suspect, she escapes to the remote Scottish island of Jura, home to the mysterious Corryvreckan whirlpool.

But wherever Hanlon goes, violence is sure to follow.

As soon as she checks into The Mackinnon Arms, Hanlon senses something isn't quite right about the staff at her home for the week.

Sure enough, within days of arriving, the body of a member of staff is found floating in the sea. While police believe she was claimed by the local whirlpool, Hanlon isn't so sure.

As she pieces together the evidence, dark secrets begin to unravel. Can Hanlon work out what is going on before another floating body is found...?

Discover an addictive crime series, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Bryndza and Lisa Regan.

Its hard to like the main character

She's a violent, angry bully on suspension because she hurt one too many people just because it feels good. The story, however, was mostly OK. Too long, I ended skipping through near the end as I was getting bored. I was disappointed the author fell into the trap of making this physically fit female body builder into a lesbian, because of course she would be, right? Instead of a friendship with the local female officer, it had to be sexual. In many respects Hanlon reminds me of JD Robb's Eve Dallas, except for the lesbian aspect. This didn't add to the story, in my opinion, but was simply a bow to current trending opinions supporting the LGB community. Apparently, every book, movie, podcast or TV series is required to have one or more same sex couples. I'll read book 2 (its free), but I won't waste a credit on this author.

gay story

a lesbian cop who thrives on violence is not a great story line. not suitable for kids.

Takes a few chapters to get it

But it’ll capture your curiosity, I enjoyed it overall. Worth the free bee book club.

An exciting and flawed protagonist

I enjoyed the characters, pacing, plot and reading if this book. I'm downloading the next in the series now!

Easy to follow but not easy to guess the ending

Although I had a hunch due to a scenario I
toward the end, it still pulled together nicely with some surprise. Impressive narration!!!
