Dead Silence

Senator Lillian York is killed. Could her daughter in law Elise have stopped it if she told someone about the lip reading she saw? She is going to but her deaf son is injured so she rushes off to the ear. Then the next morning she finds out Lillian was murdered. What should she do? She tells the police but that is just the beginning of her troubles. Do the FBI think she had something to do with it? Is her son in danger?

Dead Silence by Robin Caroll is the story of one in power wanting to silence those who might wish to bring out the truth. Lilliana York has been murdered in her own home. Why? Who would want the senator dead? Elise, the senator’s daughter-in-law works as a deaf interpreter at the court house. She over hears, through lip reading, a security guard say the senator will be taken care of but then receives a phone call that her son, who is deaf, has been taken to the emergency room after falling on the playground. The threat quickly is forgotten until she receives the call that the senator has been murdered. Will the family pull together to find a killer or will they be torn apart by the circumstances? This a great read and kept me engaged from page one till the end. There are several twists and turns along the way. The characters are so well written I felt their sadness and loss along with their anger as the investigation seems to be dragging and no one seems to care to move it along.
