A River of Silence by Susan Clayton-Goldner
This is book three in the Winston Radhauser mysteries and I fell in love with Wind in the first book Redemption Lake and could not wait to read this one. Being book three this however, is totally a stand alone and you are able to read without having read the previous books. (I haven’t read #2 yet)
A River of Silence sees the Detective get called in to investigate the death of a child. this truly must be any law enforcement worst nightmare when it involves a child and even more so when you are responsible to find out all the facts and determine who or what caused the death.
Radhauser is one of those detectives you can’t help but love, from his cowboy hat right down to being a straight up good cop, he ensures that no stone goes unturned to get to the bottom of the truth even if means putting his job on the line. The suspect Caleb Bryce is racked with guilt over Skylar’s death that Radhause believes he is innocent, but pressure from he Chief see him having to arrest him for murder, but he does everything in his power to try and help prove that Bryce is as innocent as he believes him to be.
This is a tale that will really pull on your emotions seeing how it involves a child, and as the evidence is presented and the list of suspects grow you will be shocked when you learn the truth.
A 5 star mystery read for sure from Clayton-Goldner and I can’t wait to read more of Detective Radhauser.
