Here we are at the end of 2023 and I am wondering where the time has gone. My reading schedule got highjacked by world events but I’m committed to continuing my reviews in 2024.
Next on the schedule is The Silent Boy by Cheryl Bradshaw and Janet Fix. Some of you may remember that Janet Fix edited and helped me publish the Alison Hayes series and Off the Dark Ledge with her publishing house/editing service www.thewordverve.com. I am thrilled that she has picked up the pen and joined forces with New York Times bestselling Author, Cheryl Bradshaw. Their first collaboration is The Silent Boy, a first in the Sloane and Maddie Mysteries.
About the Book
Private Investigator Sloane Monroe is about to face the most challenging case of her life, and this time, it hits a little too close to home.
In the dirty hallway of a local tavern, six-year-old Louie Alvarez plays with his race cars, waiting for his mother to take him home. A scream rips through the air. Louie freezes, then turns, staring at the room at the end of the hallway where the sound had come from.
His mom was in that room.
Louie inches toward the door and peeks through the crack. Inside, his mother begs for her life, but it’s far too late. Her fate has already been sealed. As a gunshot sounds off, a terrified Louie drops his race cars. In an instant, all eyes are on him, and there’s only one thing he can do now - run.
The Silent Boy is the first book in the Sloane Monroe spinoff series, Sloane and Maddie: Peril Awaits, written by New York Timesand 11-time USA Today best-selling author Cheryl Bradshaw and longtime editor Janet Fix. Together, they’ve created a pulse-pounding, pause-resisting mystery series you’ll love. Grab your copy today, and get swept up in a twisty tale of secrets and lies that will have you up listening all night.
