Remain Silent: A Manon Bradshaw Novel by Susie Steiner

"Her father always told his trainees: If one side says it's raining and the other says it's dry, it's not your job to quote both. It's your job to look out of the window and find out the truth."
It's a gift to find an author you love and look forward to reading. There are countless crime fiction authors out there, but finding one who writes compelling stories time and again with captivating characters is rare - especially if those stories include reccuring characters. You grow kind of attached to these characters and look forward to seeing how their futures unfold.
I am heartbroken that this is Susie Steiner's last story, and that we won't get to see DS Manon Bradshaw's storyline through. While admittedly this was my least favorite of the series, Manon, for me, remains one of the most real and raw fiction characters out there. Steiner is a bright literary talent taken from us far too young. But, I can and will continue to recommend her work as one of my favorite police procedurals, and choose to imagine that Manon's life worked itself out in the end.
