Dead Silence — Katie Gray

A cosy crime novel with mystery and suspense.
Classification: Crime and mystery fiction
Reviews
This is the second of Katie Gray's books in the 'Dead' series that I have read.
I found it an absorbing tale of sleuthing in the Suffolk countryside. It features husband and wife private investigators Jack and Pippsy (their firm is wonderfully named Four Eyes Everywhere). The story is told by Pippsy, in a friendly, almost chatty style, the action taking place in the Suffolk retirement community where Pippsy's mother lives. Despite the cosy atmosphere, the plot unfolds with mystery, murder and dark secrets from the past, leading to an action-packed climax and a surprise twist as the story ends. A compelling read, with (refreshingly) not too much darkness and no sex!

A quiet retirement community.
Suspicious neighbours.
