Silent Witness Book Review

Dylan Scott, ex-cop, ex-con, and current father, husband, and private investigator, is asked to take on a no-win case for family friends. Based on the facts, he ought to walk away, bad credit loans but his family could use the money, and he is not enjoying the change in the family dynamic since his wife delivered. Oh, and there is the niggling suspicion things are not as they appear.

With reluctance, Dylan pokes around. It's clear both the victim and her husband were having affairs. Aleksander Kaminski, the victims ex, seems to mourn her death more than her current husband mourns. Then there's Aleksander's current ultra-clingy wife and the weird veterinarian James.

The story unravels in classic whodunit style feeding us bits of information. The characters are interesting, and even Dylan's family dynamic and his wife's depression entertains.

I will say I had the villain figured out about three-fifths of the way through, so that was a bit of a bummer. Overall, Silent Witness is a well-written, engaging mystery with three-dimensional unsecured loans characters. I will definitely look for more from this author.
