What to expect
If someone was in your house, you’d know … Wouldn’t you?
Narrated by Claire-Louise English and Lara Steward, who are both members of the deaf community.
But the Hunter family are deaf, and don’t hear a thing when a shocking crime takes place in the middle of the night. Instead, they wake up to their worst nightmare: the murder of their daughter.
The police call Paige Northwood to the scene to interpret for the witnesses. They’re in shock, but Paige senses the Hunters are hiding something.
One by one, people from Paige’s community start to fall under suspicion. But who would kill a little girl?
Was it an intruder?
Or was the murderer closer to home?
This mystery will keep you up all night – perfect for fans of The Silent Patient and Cara Hunter. Don’t miss Silent Night, the second book in the series.

This had a decent start and an okay ending , but boy was this slow going.
The narrator’s voice was very monotone and this certainly didn’t help the atmosphere.
