Perfect Silence
by Helen Fields
If you follow my blog you will know that Helen Fields first novel in this series Perfect Remains, ignited my new found love of crime fiction. I have followed the journey of Luc and Ave from book one onwards.
Set in Edinburgh this police procedural bring something extra to the table. The descriptions of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas are spot on. I love that I can visualise everything as it happens as I know the places. Well, not all of them, some are very dodgy areas indeed.
In book three Perfect Death I wrote in my review that it was a variation from the previous two books. For me, it was more of a psychological read. There wasn’t much gore and it was really more about the characters emotions and bonds with each other. You can read that review here – click here to read.
So diving into book four Perfect Silence, I didn’t know what I was going to get. I really enjoyed that it was the full-on gorefest that the first two books were. Helen’s writing gives my goosebumps, goosebumps. I loved reconnecting with Luc and Ava. My favourite character in this book was Jonty.
The plot revolves around murders in the capital that are a little unusual in nature. Plus an interesting side story which for me was a little too neatly tied up at the end. But that was my only niggle for the book. Everything else I loved, the pace and emotional content were on point.
I saw Helen Fields at Bloody Scotland and was able to say thank you for the gore!
I cannot wait for book five, omg FIVE I can’t believe I am saying that.
