Silent As The Grave

Written by Paul Gitsham

Narrated by Malk Williams

It’s DCI Warren Jones’ coldest case yet…

The body of Reginald Williamson had been well concealed under a bush in Middlesbury Common and the murder efficiently carried out – a single stab wound to the chest. Reggie’s dog had been killed just as efficiently. With no clues or obvious motive, the case is going nowhere. Then Warren gets a break.

Warren’s instincts tell him that the informant is dodgy – a former police officer under investigation. But when Warren hears the incredible story he has to tell, he's glad to have given him a chance to speak. Suddenly, a wide criminal conspiracy, involving high-level police corruption, a gangster and a trained killer, is blown wide open…and Warren finds that this time, it’s not just his career under threat, but his family – and his life.

Fans of Peter Robinson and Peter James will love Silent as the Grave, the third novel in Paul Gitsham's DCI Warren Jones series.

Reviews for Silent As The Grave

[pgchuis · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Police corruption/organized crime storylines are not my favourite, but I'm reading these in order. The first half here was solidly from Warren's perspective, but then the second half let us into the thinking of Martin and Jocelyn, and felt very different. I worked out who the senior police officer pulling the strings was quite early on SPOILERsince there was no other reason for him to be in the story at all.
