When Patrick Dielman shows up at Detective Jo Larsen’s desk insisting that his wife, Jenny, is missing, Jo wonders if it’s a case of a bored housewife running away.

I must say I enjoyed it a lot more as I read both genre’s all the time. There was a great sense of energy and pace to “Walk Into Silence” and I…
I am glad that I did After perusing the titles available this month on Kindle First, I chose this one. There are many reasons for choosing a book, but for me perhaps one of the most intriguing is a female author writing police procedurals and mystery/suspense… and doing it well.! As a self-professed fan of Marcia Clark and Patricia Cornwell, I welcomed the opportunity. I am glad that I did… (for the most part.!!).
