Silent Chase

Detective Ryan Chase #5

by M.K. Farrar

When a man is killed by a high speed train, it’s initially assumed the death is just a normal suicide…that is until it’s discovered the victim’s lips have been sewn shut, and his tongue removed.
Detective Ryan Chase is put on the case. With no clue as to the dead man’s identity, the team have their work cut out for them.
Ryan can’t ignore the message the murder is sending out—the killer wants to keep someone silent.
Or do they?
When a second murder occurs, with a similar modus operandi, their investigations lead them to a thirty year old secret.
Can they catch the killer before they strike again?

Reviews

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this final book in the DI Ryan Chase series, which begins with a horrific death involving a train...but there's more to it.

This felt more like a psychological thriller than crime drama because of the plot. It was also sad, disturbing and highlighted how those in charge are frequently poor at their jobs - disgraceful.

Great characters and sense of place as well as the personal perspectives of Ryan and Malloy - well done.

I liked the writing style, the story engaging from beginning to end.

Recommended.

Detective Ryan is back in Silent Chase book five and the final book in the series. This is a page turning, murder mystery that held my attention from beginning to end. The writing is well done, the characters are well developed and the story is filled with suspense, danger, action, mystery, and a great ending to a fabulous series. Although I am sad this series is over I look forward to reading the next captivating series by this talented author. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This keeps going on the series and it really works. You do have to have read the rest of the series to really get the background of the characters as well as the some of the sub plots continue on from previous books.

Well written and I enjoyed it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Good story

A very unique fact pattern keeps the team guessing on what the possible motive far murder could be and who could be the perpetrator.
