Because the killer has left no trace, and the victim’s identity is unknown.

But when Kay finds out the truth, her discovery will shake her investigation team to its core…

A Fatal Silence is the 14th book in the Detective Kay Hunter series from USA Today bestselling author Rachel Amphlett, and perfect for readers who love fast-paced crime fiction.

My Review

This is one of the best police procedurals that I have ever read. It’s very methodical and I really enjoyed following all the steps that the detectives took throughout the investigation process. Honestly, it felt like this was a real case and I was shadowing along. It’s really a fully immersive experience reading this book.

This is the 14th book in the series. I have not read any of the other books and I didn’t feel like i was missing out on anything. The plot is well thought out and well flushed out. There are quite a few suspects that detectives take you through as you’re reading the book, and I didn’t figure out who it was at all. I never once questioned the detectives’ line of thinking, everything they did made sense. It really felt like Amphlette did a lot of research about police procedures.

There were some aha moments and twists in the book that I didn’t see coming, so of course I loved that! This book really is perfect for those that love police procedurals. If that’s you, get your hands on this book now!
