THE SILENT WIFE Will Trent, Book 10

A series of horrific rapes has authorities mystified. Investigator Will Trent and Medical Examiner Sara Linton dig deep into the case, examining clues as well as their love life. Kathleen Early delivers the story, which is set in the South and jumps between two timeframes. She shines mostly with the accents of several secondary characters. A medical examiner is given a slow, kindly drawl, and a woman in charge of investigators has a wonderfully creative gruff voice. Sara's sister has a slightly different cadence, which helps when the siblings are talking. The author's graphic descriptions of heinous acts bring home the seriousness of sexual crimes.
