The Silence

Columbia River, Book 2

De: Kendra Elliot

Narrado por: Emily Sutton-Smith

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

A dead conspiracy theorist. A mass murderer. Two cases collide for Callahan and McLane in a pulse-pounding thriller by Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author Kendra Elliot.

A man is savagely murdered outside Portland, and Detective Mason Callahan finds blood-spatter evidence that tells a troubling story. Files reveal the murder victim, Reuben Braswell, was a radical conspiracist. In his home, investigators find pages of diatribes against law enforcement as well as ties to Mason’s fiancée, FBI special agent Ava McLane. The victim was her informant - and had strong reasons to be paranoid.

To Ava, Braswell’s rants were those of a wearying and harmless man…until they collide with her investigation into the murders of police officers and finding the connection becomes urgent. Meanwhile, Braswell’s brother and Ava’s twin sister both disappear, and disturbing acts of sabotage target Ava’s personal life.

For Mason and Ava, the brutal crimes and escalating mysteries create a perfect storm for a terrorist conspiracy that becomes dangerously personal - one that has yet to claim its last victim.

Suspense, twist, drama, and romance

I have enjoyed several of this authors writing. She doesn't disappoint. Love following the characters.

Comments from a reader

This is another good novel from Kindra Elliot. I think it was fun and had a good turn in the storyline.

Intriguing story

I have enjoyed many Kendra Elliott stories. Well written, great story telling and involves Oregon towns and landmarks. However, because the story tells of those sites the reader/performer should properly pronounce the places. Surprised Kendra allowed Willamette, The Dallas & Cannon beach to be pronounced poorly. As a Oregonian I winced every time those places were mentioned

The ‘Dales’ ? No, it’s the Dalles

Learn to properly pronounce the place names please! It DOES matter!
In Oregon it’s Wil-LAM-ette, accent is on the middle syllable Wil-LAM-ette River, Wil-LAM-ette Valley, etc.
In Illinois and Canada it's pronounced Will a-METTE so it's easy to see why that mistake is made, but still, one of the reasons I was drawn to this book is because of the place and my familiarity with it.. So please instruct the reader to pronounce words correctly. It's not too much to ask. If I was getting paid for a service I would certainly take more pride in it.
And the twin thing? I’m supposed to take Ava seriously as a professional but she can’t take herself seriously? I’ve known several twins and they’ve all been able to differentiate themselves. In fact, they want to. Ava, as a law enforcement officer, tolerating her twin's outrageous offenses, is frankly an insult to your readers' intelligence. Please, leave the weak drama behind. Your readers are smarter than this.

Disappointed

I live in Oregon and it’s very disappointing to hear the names of the places in the book mispronounced. I heard it over and over in this book. Also, the narrator was very monotone in this book. Almost unbelievable because of the tones and cadence of her voice.

Great Book

I enjoyed this book tremendously because all the main characters that we have come to know from other books and series by the author come together. Some in helping save Ava’s sister Jane and finally to celebrate the marriage of Ava and Mason!

Way better than the first one.

Listened to books in the series back to back and enjoyed the second one more than the first. The narrator was better imo in the second one. The pace of the story and action was great. Took me days to finish first one, only two for the second one, that should tell you how I didn't want to put it down. Looking forward to more books in the series.

Heartthrobing

A great story of mystery, obsession, evil and death.
A slight redemption from the flat last book, Sad her Father was not there and don't feel it was necessary to remove Davis with all that happened.

Love and mystery!

I honestly normally can’t stand any romance stories, but this story stands with or without the romance and there’s no spice (thankfully). Beautifully written story!
