Susan has done it again. She has written another best seller. Susan is my favorite mystery writer ever. She can create a story that will grab you from the beginning and never let go. Susan is one author that can write a story where you come the closest ever to seeing the world through the eyes of the author. She can also hit you right in the heart and have you feeling just what the characters are feeling. Her stories are filled with so much mystery that the endings will blow your mind. All the way through you think you have it all figured out as to who the killer is but then in the end she will surprise you.
If you love mysteries then you are going to love A River is Silence. Pick up your copy and get to know little Skyler, Scott, Dana, Reggie, Radhauser, Kendra, Henry, Bear and find out more about Bryce and the man he is. I can’t recommend A River is Silence enough. I can’t wait to read more of Susan’s books and more of Detective Radhauser.
