Don’t Make A Sound is the third book in the D.S. Nathan Cody series. It probably would be better to have read the previous novels just to get a bit of back ground just as there are a couple of mentions of things that you would probably only be aware of if you had read them.

Oh wow, what can I say about this book!

A Tapping At My Door was my first introduction to this author and his novels, of which it is also the first in this series. It blew me away so much so I went and bought all his other books. A Tapping At my Door has remained my most favourite, well that was until I read his latest offering.

It is so hard to know what to write in my review as I really don’t want to give to much away. The book description literally grabbed me by the collar and had me rushing to find out what was inside and boy I wasn’t disappointed.

Apart from Cody himself, Daisy was without a doubt the star of this book. A ten year old girl who has sadly had to grow up way before she should have to. Her strength ran rings around my heart strings and I just wanted to wrap her up in my arms and to take her away from the situation she was in.

Having a story line to do with children in a crime thriller you know is more than likely going to be emotional in parts. Oh my goodness though I literally couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to find out more and what the out come was going to be only to realise that the author hadn’t finished with me yet. The less said about that the better!

Don’t Make A Sound is going to be THE must read of 2018! Gripping from the off, Don’t Make A Sound is guaranteed to grip you whilst taking you on one of the most thrilling rides of your life. An absolute must read for crime thriller fans who love fast paced reads that they won’t be able to put down. Without a doubt one of my top reads of this year!

My thanks to Emily at Bonnier Zaffre for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

This was the first book i read from the author/series, so there were some parts which i assume was in reference to the previous books but generally it was just as easy to pick up as a standalone. Pretty good book overall, not the best but kept me engaged and interested

This series is very conflicting because at some point in the book I get frustrated with the progress of the story, but then, once it wraps up I am astonished.
This installment is no different. The whole clown thing is getting a bit old and I am wondering why poor Cody has to be the one who gets it all the time in the abuse department, but I stick with the claim that this is probably as close to a real life crime investigation as you can get.
