Silent Graves – review (AD)
I was kindly gifted an electronic copy of Silent Graves by Sally Rigby in exchange for an honest review*.
Silent Graves book blurb
Nothing remains buried forever…
When the bodies of two teenage girls are discovered on a building site, DCI Whitney Walker knows
she’s on the hunt for a killer.
The problem is the murders happened forty years ago and this is her first case with the new team. What makes it even tougher is that with budgetary restrictions in place, she only has two weeks to solve it.
Once again, she enlists the help of forensic psychologist Dr Georgina Cavendish, but as she digs deeper into the past, she uncovers hidden truths that hurtle through the decades and into the present.
Silent Graves is the ninth book in the acclaimed Cavendish & Walker series. Perfect for fans of L J
Ross, J M Dalgleish and Rachel Abbott.
My overall thoughts on Silent Graves
Silent Graves is the ninth instalment in the Cavendish & Walker series but could be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel.
We join Whitney and her team who have just moved into the new purpose built modern building for Lenchester Police.
There are two new members on the team and Whitney wonders how they will fit in.
It was interesting to watch the dynamics of the old and new members of the team start to play out.
Whitney also has a new boss and she wonders how that is going to work out, especially when she finds out an old adversary is being transferred to Lenchester.
The case is really interesting and a little different as it’s a cold case.
Skeleton remains are dug up on a building site at a farm.
It’s two teenage girls from the 1970-80s – are their deaths due to foul play?
Forensic psychologist George is back on the case with the team adding her special flair.
The book ends with a great twist that makes up for having to have patience waiting to see what is going to happen next.
I really enjoyed this instalment in the series and look forward to Whitney’s next case.
