Thanks to @netgalley and @canongatebooks for the Arc.

‘The Silent Conversation’ is the latest in the Anderson and Cooper mysteries which are set in modern-day Glasgow. This was an intensely chilling, claustrophobic thriller that is tightly plotted with numerous arcs that truly creeps you out! Normally I would say you could read these books as standalone but you would have benefited from reading the whole series as there are links to The Night Hunter which aren't fully explained. This is a series that I think deserves more recognition than it receives as they are brilliant police procedural with great plots and superbly develop characters. 

I want to live in Maltman Green - not the building in this story but the concept of it sounds amazing. It really was a character of it's right as it evoked claustrophobia, lent to a gradual build-up of tension and suspicion and allowed for a great ending to the book. I could feel the heat of the summer coming off the pages and boy I wish I lived near that deli! 

It was extremely interesting to see the effects of a crime committed in the past still has on it's victims. Both the parents of the missing boy and also Carol one of the victims from The Night Hunter. 

I loved this and instantly put it on my website as for some reason I had missed its release in hardback.
