Book Review: Silent Crime by WL Knightly

Hangman Book 1

This world is evil.

My mother used to tell me that evil only comes to those who are looking for it, and maybe she was right.

Corruption and death walk hand and hand in this town. I refuse to give in, but giving up seems to be my only option.

As a detective, I’ve seen enough killing for ten lifetimes, and now, leaving is the only way to keep my sanity.

I never thought that my last case while training my replacement would have a stranglehold on me personally.

It’s like the Hangman is placing the noose around my neck, and the rope is only getting tighter.

This is book 1 in a 6 book series. You will need to read the other books to complete the story.

My Review:

I love a book that keeps me guessing. This one does that in spades. There are so many possibilities here. All of them are good and all of them are equally horrifying. Like Darek Blake before him, Jake Thomas is caught in the middle of a mess with no easy way through. I learned my lesson with the Zodiac series: no one is going to be what they appear. We have a city full of corruption and a taunting vigilante, and I have no idea how this is going to play out – or even who I should trust – but I’m desperate to know what comes next. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
