Extremely Graphic

I thought this book would be like Mariah Stewart's trilogies, which is why I bought it. While it was very well written, I thought it was way too graphic, even for someone who loves mystery/suspense novels like I do. I won't be passing it on to my mother and grandmother as I usually do when I find a new author in this genre.

I also thought the romance between the main characters seemed forced and rushed, which made it not very believable.

SPEAK NO EVIL

Allison Brennan

A Review by
David Byers

San Diego Police Detective Carina Kincaid, is investigating what turns out to be a serial rapist /murderer. With the help of Montana Sheriff Nick Thomas (who is also the brother of the prime suspect) they work to bring the committer of these heinous crimes to justice, falling in love along the way.
In this well-paced mystery with great sub-plots, the author draws us along with skill, great imagery, and a well researched use of forensics. This is a great read.

Intense/Graphic Thriller!

Another well written, intense thriller! I could not put this one down and was up til the wee morning hours finishing it. Some parts were so horrific I couldn't get to sleep if I wanted to. Maybe not a good read in the late night....

There were no slow parts in the book--at all. This book involves a serial killer/rapist/Internet and there is graphic torture. I'm not sure I would describe this as a romance, but more of thriller/mystery.

SPEAK NO EVIL

Carina Kincaid is a young detective who is investigating a disturbing string of murders. With the help of her partner and her prime suspect's brother, she links the murders to an on-line journal. The romance between Nick and Carina was ridiculously juvenile and typical of Danielle Steel, while the mystery/suspense portion was so unsettling because of Allison Brennan's over-the-top violent and graphic details. There were several times when I wanted to put the book down and never pick it up again, but I did, hence the three stars (I did finish it). Overall, for me, the book was more upsetting than entertaining.

Wonderful mystery

I have read several of Allison Brennan's books and each is a little different. After you are introduced to some of the families in the books, you want to read the next installment or member of the family. It is hard to figure out who is doing the killing and I like the method of reading from the killer's perspective.

Silence is deadly.

The murder of eighteen-year-old Angie Vance was exceptionally vile?her mouth was sealed with glue, an obscenity scrawledwas across her skin, and she was suffocated in a garbage bag. The killing seems personal, so police detective Carina Kincaid focuses her efforts on the victim?s much older ex-boyfriend, Steve Thomas. But without physical evidence, Carina can?t make a collar or a case. She also can?t stop Sheriff Nick Thomas, the prime suspect?s brother, from conducting his own unwelcome investigation.

Though Nick is still scarred and unsteady from a recent confrontation with a serial killer, he?s determined to prove his brother?s innocence. But his confidence is shaken when he learns of Steve?s dark side, and when a friend of the murdered girl meets a similarly gruesome fate. With no time to lose, Carina and Nick work together to trap a psychopath, before another unlucky woman faces an unspeakable end.

Evil has spoken. Now see what it can do.
