Dead Silence Audiobook Summary

New York Times Bestselling Author Wendy Corsi Staub is the master of psychological suspense. Here, she delves into the twisted mind of The Angler, who lures his human prey the way he catches fish. Sometimes, he gets one worth keeping . . . for a little while . . .

No Such Thing as Coincidence . . .

Staring into his frightened blue eyes, investigative genealogist Amelia Crenshaw Haines vows to help this silent little boy who is unable–or unwilling–to communicate his past. Though her own roots remain shrouded in mystery, she relies on tangible DNA evidence to help fellow foundlings uncover theirs . . . until a remarkable twist of fate presents a stranger bearing an eerily familiar childhood souvenir.

NYPD Missing Persons Detective Stockton Barnes has spent his career searching for other people’s lost loved ones and outrunning a youthful misstep. Now a chance encounter with a key player from that fateful night leads him on a desperate quest to locate the one woman he’s ever regretted leaving–unless a savage killer finds her first.

As Amelia and Barnes uncover intertwining truths–and lies–the real horror emerges not in crimes already committed, but in evil yet to come . . .

First off I won this as a goodreads giveaway. Thank you Harper Collins and William Morrow.This was a fast paced and interesting read. I would have liked it much more if I had read other books in the series. This story could not be read as a stand alone because of that.So, if you have read other books in this series, give it a try.

A hair raising ride from start to finish.

This book was given to me through Goodreads.There are 3 sections and an epilogue.Each section is a consecutive date ; the epilogue is four days later.The first day is ninety pages long.There are three stories intertwined through each day.The topics include genealogy , adoption records, Asperger's syndrome, serial killing, drugs and police taking bribes.One of the stories seems to be irrelevant to the main theme and is distracting.The other two stories are connected, interesting and suspenseful.I found the end of the third section abrupt and left me feeling as if it was unfinished.After the epilogue, I realized that the third story was all leading up to the next book THE BUTCHER'S DAUGHTER which is being released in 2020.I would have preferred that this story did not intertwine through the book.

Dead Silence(The Foundlings Trilogy #2)by Wendy Corsi Staub 4 StarsDead Silence is an absolutely terrific follow-up to Little Girl Lost. It’s rare for a sequel to be better than the original, but Wendy Corsi Staub has pulled it off.Dead Silence picks up the stories of Amelia Crenshaw Barnes and Stockton Barnes 29 years after we left them in Little Girl Lost, and introduces a new villain known only as The Angler who just may be the most vile, detestable, psychopathic killer ever to darken the pages of any thriller. It will have you turning pages late into the night, and then checking all of the doors and windows to make sure they’re locked!https://mhassett23.blogspot.com/2020/...

Well, I'm confused. I found this on one of my huge TBR piles and thought I must be reading it for the second time, since I was so sure I'd read every one of Wendy's books. But I kept waiting for something to seem familiar, and it never did. When I finished, I learned that this is part of a series. I scoured my WCS bookcase for the other two and didn't find them. WHAT? You mean I didn't own every book? Then I came to Goodreads to be sure I hadn't written a review about them (one thing I love about GR). Nope. So that has now been remedied, and they are on the way (since I insist on having hard copies of all her books). I still can't figure out how on earth I could have missed a whole series, though!

Dead Silence – Wendy Corsi Staub – Win from Goodreads and William MorrowDead Silence has intertwining stories. Fair warning, all threads are not tied up at the end, so there will be another book. The story is about a silent little boy, but also includes an autistic boy, a rooster, DNA, a childhood keepsake, and a hurricane; and, oh yes, a murderer – and all of these paths cross. The book will hold your attention and waiting for the next one.

I previously wrote a review on "Dead Silence" that stated that I kept feeling like I had already read it but couldn't it in my Wendy Corsi Staub collection. AHA! Now I learn that it's just a different name for "Little Boy Blue" which I HAVE read! I hate when publishers do that, and we end up with two of the same books with different titles.

Relationships, Murder, DNATruly an intricate, knotted plot continues on in Dead Silence. The reader wants the main characters to be safe yet also find a satisfying resolution. In some parts of the story, time and location become a bit confusing. Still, the plot is exciting and I look forward to the third book in the series.

I had a tough time getting into this book because it was part of a series and I hadn't read the previous one but once I did I really enjoyed the book. It is a page turner for sure. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

I was happily reading along, when this one came to a dead halt. I know that it is part of a series, but it left me feeling like - "What???" It was a really entertaining book, but I needed a little more resolution.

I really like the story I’m glad I waited till book 3 is almost out before I read it and I reread the first one because the stories really connect

I'm so excited to have won this in a Goodreads giveaway!Review to come.This was a great book. I read it on its own without reading the first book so things got confusing at times but I was still able to follow along. The characters each had their own compelling personalities and were interesting in many ways. Wendy’s writing leaves you feeling haunted and in endless suspense after every chapter you read.
