Review

I picked this out of my TBR on a whim and i had seen a bit of hype surrounding this pre release. Oh wow, it was a fantastic read. If someone broke into your house - surely you would know but as the Hunter family are all deaf, chances are they wont hear a thing and when they wake up, one of the children has been brutally murdered.

Paige gets a call to interpret for the witnesses, and despite knowing the family she doesnt own up, but instead starts to believe the police are not doing all they can to find the murderer and she too becomes involved in finding answers.  The deaf community is a small one and Paige starts to suspect everyone. 

As Paige gets more involved the narrative takes alot of twists and turns. It also means, someone is after Paige - they want to stop her searching for answers. I really enjoyed it, when sign language was been used - the author made it clear so we could differentiate. I thought i had this one all figured out from early on but nope,not at all. I found my heart racing at times especially towards the end. 

I would recommend this book over and over, its a thriller with a difference.
