Dead Silence by Wendy Corsi Staub

2.0

I received this book from a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for an honest review.

I began reading unaware that this was book 2 of a trilogy; however, it was still readable without getting totally lost. The mystery has more to do with Amelia's parentage than with the small boy's appearance. There are multiple story lines that feel more convoluted than necessary, like Wendy Corsi Staub had more to say than actually fit together in my opinion. The story line with Detective Barnes is completely separate than Amelia's whose story does not actually involve the little boy until maybe halfway through the book.

It has a fast pace, I read it in a day, but the story can drag a bit due to there not ever really being any sense of action or urgency or thrill.
