Don't Make a Sound by David Jackson
3.0
“Don’t Make a Sound” by David Jackson pierces the heart of every parent’s worst nightmare: a child snatched from their bed, gone without a whisper.
Meet Malcolm and Harriet Benson, a seemingly ordinary couple, who harbor a dark secret: they have kidnapped a ten-year-old girl named Daisy. Their mundane exterior masks a sinister inclination for kidnapping kids. The tension escalates when their insatiable hunger for innocence drives them to target another child, igniting a desperate chase as detectives race against the relentless tick of the clock. Will they rescue the children, or will they be too late, leaving only tragedy in their wake?
A well-executed thriller that succeeds in creating a haunting narrative. A grim reminder of the fragility of security and the depths of human depravity.
One aspect I find unsettling is Detective Cody’s empathy towards the kidnapper. A bold attempt to humanize the perpetrator, challenging my moral compass. Can we extend compassion to someone who inflicts such heinous crimes, like child kidnapping and abuse?
