Disclaimer: An eARC was provided by The Publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The Thoughts, opinions & feelings expressed in the review are therefore, my own.
This is the third book in the Paige Northwood series but can be definitely be read as a stand-alone!
Paige Northwood who works as a freelance as a British Sign Language Interpreters for hearing impaired.
Silent Suspect starts off with a murder - and the main suspect is one of Sasha, her profoundly deaf colleague’s clients.
After the previous two books, where Paige found herself in the middle of murder investigations - she really doesn’t want to get into any trouble this time, after her near misses in the past.
Now, Paige is working as an BSL interpreter for the profoundly deaf social worker, Sasha Thomas. So when she gets a call from one of Sasha’s clients, Luke who says that his house is on fire, and that his wife is trapped inside.
When she reaches Luke’s house, it’s to realise that Luke is being arrested for his wife’s murder. All she wants to do is turn over the case to the police - but Sasha convinces her that the police won’t be on Luke’s side, especially when they realise that Luke isn’t talking to anyone; not even to his social worker or his interpreter.
There are also a whole lot of upheavals going on in Paige’s personal life (I know who I am rooting for!) and the stress of handling both does get to her at times.
However, the writing still seems to be a little stilted - the flow doesn’t really run smoothly for the plot and this, does create problems especially when you just want to get lost in a mystery.
