About this ebook
One by one, they will die. He has waited patiently, envisioning their final moments. Their tortured screams, their pleas for mercy—all will be in vain as he executes his sadistic plan.
Homicide detective Julia Cass has witnessed plenty of crime scenes. But the murder of a Chattanooga judge is shocking in its brutality. Teamed with FBI agent Will Brannock, Julia delves into an investigation that soon unearths more bodies—all mutilated in the same way, all left with a gruesome souvenir of a killer's ruthless rage . . .
The only way to stop the slaughter is to predict the next victim. But when you're dealing with vengeance at its most ruthless, one wrong move can make you a target . . . and the next word you utter could be your last . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5[Don’t Say A Word] by Beverly Barton4★'sOne by one, they will die. He has waited patiently, planning their final moments. Their tortured screams, their pleas for mercy--all will be in vain. Homicide detective Julia Cass has witnessed plenty of crime scenes. But the murder of a Chattanooga judge is shocking in its brutality. Teamed with FBI agent Will Brannock, Julia delves into an investigation that soon unearths more bodies--all mutilated in the same way, all left with a gruesome souvenir of a killer's ruthless rage. The only way to stop the slaughter is to predict the next victim. But when you're dealing with vengeance at its most ruthless, one wrong move can make you a target. . .and the next word you utter could be your last. I could have done without the author making Will Brannock…an otherwise smart and good detective…such a conceited, “God’s gift to women” playboy. I have read everything that Beverly Barton wrote but this reads like it was written by someone else and her name put on it. I will overlook the inconsistencies in the writing style since I know that it was the last book that she wrote before she died. However as a result much of the character development was sadly lacking and the ending was abrupt. I gave it 4 stars because of the wonderful relationship I had over the years with this author. P.S. I found out that someone else had finished the book after Beverly Barton's death.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Just okay. I thought the story lacked enough depth to make it as intense as the other novels of Ms. Barton. In fact, the story bordered on corny.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a very enjoyable book. I have only recently discovered the books of Beverly Barton and I really enjoy them. The serial killer was creepy, but the big reveal did not come as a total surprise. There were not many characters in the book, so unless the killer is totally random, there are not many suspects for the reader to choose from.
I enjoyed the blossoming romance between Will and Julia. It was a nice part of the story, without overshadowing the thriller part.
