Silent Scream by Angela Marsons Book Summary

Five figures gather round a shallow grave. They had all taken turns to dig. An adult sized hole would have taken longer. An innocent life had been taken but the pact had been made. Their secrets would be buried, bound in blood…

Years later, a headmistress is found strangled, the first in a spate of gruesome murders which shock the Black Country. But when human remains are discovered at a former children’s home, disturbing secrets are also unearthed.

Detective Kim Stone fast realises she’s on the hunt for a twisted individual whose killing spree spans decades. As the body count rises, Kim needs to stop the murderer before they strike again. But to catch the killer, can Kim confront the demons of her own past before it’s too late?

An absolutely gripping, darkly compelling, and nail-bitingly tense mystery thriller that will keep you racing through the pages long into the night. A Kindle Chart #1, multi-million-copy, international bestseller, Silent Scream turns fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid and Mark Billingham into Angela Marsons addicts.

Watch out for more from Detective Kim Stone

A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Silent Scream is the first book in the series.

Silent scream. Loved this book had me guessing at every stage. Can't wait for the next one!

Brilliant from the first page right through to the last!!!!. This book has to be one of the best books I’ve read in a long time! And I read a lot of books. It is so well written it genuinely is one of those books you can’t put down. I read until my eyes were so heavy i had to sleep but the second I woke I picked it up again. Amazing and I can’t wait to read the next 11!

Silent scream, great read!. First time reading Angela Marsons, loved the characters, pace and twists. I've just bought book 2 Kim Stones next case Evil Games. Won't start it until tomorrow as with this one I probably won't be able to put it down once I start it reading it.

Amazing. You won’t regret starting this series, one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Thank you for amazing story lines, gripping characters and whit to lighten the mood!

Best read. Gripping read and totally addictive series of books.

Silent scream. What a brilliant book I was hooked straight away and a bit like midsummer murders I never got the murderer, yet when it got too the part where she's in the home and he was there I thought yes I can see that now. So can't wait to read another of your books.

Hard to put down. Thought the book well written and kept you on your toes as to what would happen next. Seems to have been well researched and would recommend it when you have time to sit and read it on a regular basis otherwise you’ll be frustrated at not being able to pick it up.

Fantastic. Excellent read, loved every part of this book

Loved it. Was instantly hooked on this book from the start. I love Kim and I'd definitely want her fighting my corner!

Awesome!. This book was a brilliant read. It was exciting the whole way through, with loads of twists and turns. At the revealing parts I was gripped with my jaw dropped as the story unfolded. I couldn't put it down!

Silent scream. Amazing a little slow in first chapter but you carnt expect it all go from the start really enjoyed it even up until the last but one page it still kept going , a unusual twist on abuse and children's home and unravelling the details don't want let to much out but very good I'm ready for book 2 now

Gripping!. Loved this book couldn't put it down! I felt like I knew the main character on a personal level,an amazing writer.

Brilliant read. This is the second one of the Kim Stone series must say brilliant. Worth every penny. Great read!

Silent Scream. Definitely worth the read enjoyed this so much and thought that Kim's character was very strong

Silent Scream. Lost interest. Not gripping at all.

Enjoyable novel of its type. I enjoyed reading this, although at the end the plot got a bit complicated. Not sure why the main characters in this type of book always have to be renegades or damaged goods! Are there any decent coppers out there?

Great tead. Love all the characters of the team and how they all interact. Kim is really interesting and I love the banter between her and Bryant. Have read first 3 and just bought the 4th in the series. All the stories so far have been really strong with baddies that really get under your skin. Can’t wait to start the latest and will definitely get the redt

Found a new series!. Very good! Perfect for fans of val and mo! Just bought book number two!

Fab read!!. Gripping from start to finish, had me guessing to the end. Great twists and turns, and characters. So hooked on this had to read the next book immediately after, which was equally as good I must add.

Excellent. Very good book. Easy to read. Enthralling story line, couldn't put it down. Nice real life touches, along side the main story. Just about to download book two. Am now a fan and will seek out all books by this author.

Amazing!. Angie this is an amazing book. I couldn't put it down. Haven't spoke to my other half or my son since Iv been reading it lol. Can't wait for book number 2 what I'm starting now

Addictive read. I was hooked from chapter one which instantly raised the question who are the five and what did they do? Next question that came up who is Mikey? I could go on - there are so many questions raised in the first half of the book and they are all answered thankfully by the end. It's a roller coaster ride from start to end and I'm relieved to know there is more to come for Kim Stone. Angela Marsons is an excellent writer and I'll be hunting out more of her books in the future.

Silent Scream. Great story, fast pace, lots of twists and very engaging. Frequent use of Americanisms spoilt the Black Country setting for me though (elevator, headed, facility, detective).

Confused. Can someone please explain this to me.. Ive just finished reading the book, but theres somethings that i don’t quite understand. Firstly, if Beth died years ago, who was the woman that turned up to see Kim stone and blackmailed her to leave them alone? There was clearly a difference of appearance mentioned- Beth has more harsher, slimmer facial features as opposed to Nicholas. And what exactly has the cardigan to do with the whole fire and everything?

Totally gripping. I have been trying to get back into reading for years, with no luck. Picked this book up yesterday at a communal library and couldn’t put it down! Excited to read the rest

Great read, interesting characters. Enjoyed reading this very much and found it a real 'page turner'. Has all the elements of a good crime novel: interesting characters, multiple suspects, likeable and dislikable personae and a flawed hero. Well worth a read.

Great book. Well written book a real page turner thanks

Great read. Fantastic book couldn't put it down

Silent Scream. I love Mo Hayder, Lynda La Plante and other crime writers! I was gripped from start to finish! Love Kim and Bryants relationship! Looking forward to the next book!

Silent scream. I enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down. I liked the main character and her relationships with the other characters.

Silent Scream. A brilliant first book - can't wait for the next one! I particularly enjoyed the settings and reading local place names! Kim's character was deep and thought provoking and one I would like to follow in more crime solving stories. The plot was well layered and the police action believable. A thoroughly exciting, enjoyable and hard to put down, read !

A decent series opener with some failings. Having read a fair bit of crime fiction lately (including series by Alison Bruce, Helen Fields and Gytha Lodge) this definitely felt like a first book. I’m interested enough to get the second in the series and see how things develop, but with some reservations. The main characters are engaging and believable, but I was almost put off by the writing style: in places it seemed a little forced and formulaic, and there were some sentence constructions and descriptions that jarred. I felt that some things should have been picked up on and corrected at the proof stage, and the main reveal made me go back and read a key passage because it didn’t quite ring true.

Silent Scream. I loved this book, very readable and very clever keeping my interest throughout. Unfortunately I did not like the continued use of Jesus Christ as swear words and would have preferred the book without this blasphemy. Interestingly non of the other swearing bothered me as the characters fitted the language. Some excellent descriptive phrases and verbal banter.

Silent Scream. Wow what a great read! Writer’s imagination and research made this so believable and I couldn’t wait to wake up early in the morning’s and read for an hour or two in bed. I would always say to my husband, “what a great story is this, her writing is very interesting, believable, and with great description of all the characters.” What a great mind does this author possess! Thanks heaps for a very, satisfying plus stimulating read........SF

Silent Scream. I stayed up until 1.45 a.m. to finish this book. I then immediately purchased the next three novels in the Kim Stone set. Gripping and full of suspense, a thoroughly enjoyable read. Thank you Angela Marsons.

Silent Scream. A gripping read - Kim Stone is a fantastic and very credible character. Hope this is the first of many in the series.

Play dead. As with the other Kim Stone detective series, this one is just as good. Great reads.

Excellent fast paced thriller. Excellent fast paced thriller. Great characters with a disturbing Killer. I am now ready to start book 2.

Love this series. Absolutely addicted to D I Kim Stone . Start here and you will be as well.

Do it. Buy the book. It’s better than any other you will find, found it hard to stop myself throughout this whole series

Silent scream. Well written with an empathy for all the people on both sides of the thin blue line.

Top notch story!. Silent Scream - Angela Marsons There’s this home for wayward girls. While some return after escaping others don’t. There’s this Detective, she’s a graduate of a similar place, and she wants to find who’s killed who. And then the suspects start dying! It’s a long story, and there will be places where you’ll think it’s about to come to a close, read a bit more and another phase kicks in. The main character, Kim Stone, is a bit quirky, a bit like Columbo (if your old enough to remember) tends to not play well with others. I’ve read the story as quickly as I could, so I guess better than excellent 5/5 Start 13/12/2018 Finished 15/12/2018

H. 👍🏻 great book!!!

Great first Novel. I love when I find a first in a series where I immediately am intrigued by the central character. As the professional and private layers of Kim Stone are revealed you really begin to bond with her. A well written story with great supporting characters. Looking forward to the next instalment

Pretty good. A bit slow to start. Had a bit of trouble getting the feel for the characters but got much better. It was slow moving

Easy Read. It was an easy read, didn’t keep me hooked or hanging on every page but it was okay.
