Silent Crickets

Shallow End Gals Trilogy #3

by Vicki Graybosch, Linda McGregor, Teresa Duncan

Trilogy needs to be read in book order: FBI Agents Roger Dance and Paul Casey race against time to trap ruthless opponents committed to destroying anyone who gets in their way.

Roger tugs at every loose thread of the design’s plan, exposing unthinkable plots from deadly enemies. The raspy, haunting words of an old, blind man prove true. “Big cities be brutal. Take unsuspectin’ souls and eat ‘em alive. Nawlens, don’t even chew.”

About the author

The ‘Shallow End Gals’ name was given to us by the bartender at a local tavern. We sit at the short end of the bar for storytelling and lunch a few times per week. This is where our stories are born and alcohol is not involved. There are now four of us; Teresa Duncan, Vicki Graybosch, Linda McGregor and Kimberly Troutman. On February 27, 2013 our friend and co-author Mary Hale unexpectedly passed.
Mary is the one in our picture with the white hair and a halo behind her. She was a retired teacher, a retired realtor, an inspirational friend and the first one to burst into song with the faintest of prompting.
Teresa Duncan is a professional with UPS, a world traveler, a fierce supporter of humanity, and the living definition of friend. Teresa has never met a stranger and has an acute curiosity about people and life. Teresa is definitely who you want to ‘have your back’ in times of need.
Linda McGregor is a retired mortgage professional, an employee of local government and a staunch supporter of family, human rights and the plights of the less fortunate. Gifted in crafts and art and blessed with an expansive sense of humor. Linda is a born negotiator.
Vicki Graybosch is a retired mortgage professional and an avid researcher. Her life experiences and observations of the world primarily come from her computer and the comfort of her desk chair these days. Blessed with the type of mind that seeks to unearth the unique and reshape it into something humorous or memorable, she has assumed the role of placing pen to paper for the group.
Kimberly Troutman, Vicki’s daughter, is a full time dealer at the local casino and much too young to be retired from anything. Her role in our group is to contribute her youthful perspectives, humor, and temper our devious plots.
The collective imaginations are powerful. The honest sharing of deeply held convictions is inspirational and motivational. Our goal is to tell stories in such a way that readers feel they have become one of our characters. We do not define our character’s race. All sex is behind closed doors and cursing is held to a minimum. Sound boring? Buy a book and hang on!

Spellbinding!!

All three books so far have been incredible, each one better than the one before. I have never read any books quite like these and I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a really good, attention keeping series!!

A great ending to the trilogy...yet let it open for future books involving the characters.

It was extremely fast paced with a lot of plot lines intertwining, but was easy to follow along.

So glad we got a conclusion to the story and can't wait for future books.

I love series books because I get so familiar with the characters. There were so many in this book that I loved. It was well written and every part was interesting. It makes me sad that it's the last one. I'm hoping to see some returning characters in other books in the future. I did see that there is another book by the author with the Catahoula character (we have a Catahoula, so that was really cool). Since it would give too much away, I won't recap the book. I'll just say that it's hard to put down and I'm loving the author so far.
