S.E. Green

Told from Detective Nell's point of view, these are detective investigation stories as Nell leads her first case in Silence. The case is dark and gritty, and takes on a personal turn for Nell. The book features the investigative side of the story and finally the truth of what happened, giving readers the full view of the case. Unseen follows after book 1, but the case itself is a standalone. The story is a slow read as Nell and Vaughn attempt to prove a convicted man's guilt or innocence. The stories are written in the present tense, so readers read the narrative in real-time. A personal pleasant way to read since nothing in the future can be foreseen and readers learn what happens at the same time as the characters.

CW: incidents of animal cruelty mentioned, some incredibly violent deaths, beheading, limbs sent to police, murder of loved one, extreme torture, sexual content

3.5 Stars

Well it got off to a rocky start with the main character being incredibly unlikable.

The fact that Lane had murderous thoughts was really laboured at the beginning of the novel and the way she spoke about her sister's sexual behaviour was utterly atrocious. I don't know precisely when I started enjoy our little psychopath, but she really did grow on me. I thought the case was actually pretty engaging with a sufficient amount of intrigue and suspects to keep me turning the pages. It is a very short book but definitely packs a punch. There are some pretty gruesome, violent and disturbing deaths so I will be sure to give appropriate warnings. NZ senior high school students only.… (altro)
