I love this series so I had high expectations for the book and it did not disappoint. I was kept on edge and absolutely read this in one sitting

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Omg omg omg .......... this book was amazing I could not put it down I read every word on the edge of my seat I loved the story line, i loved the way the story just kept us guessing all the way threw I loved all the twists and turns and would defiantly recommend this book it was so believable and kept the reader engaged I love it

I did not know that this is book 3 in the Nathan Cody series, but I feel this read nicely as a standalone. This was a gripping and intriguing read from beginning to end. Highly recommended!!!

Wasn't sure about this once I found out it was part of a series but it worked really well as a standalone thankfully! Really well written and fast paced, kept me hooked the whole way through.

Great storyline with good strong characters. Very well written. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Jackson's 'Don't Make a Sound' opens with what appears to be pretty much a normal scene, Malcolm and his wife Harriet sharing a moment together happy in each others company. But this pair have a nasty, big secret and things are far from normal in their household.
The story focusses on the abduction of a child, Poppy and the involvement of DS Nathan Cody and his partner DC Megan Webley in solving the case.
The story is a fast moving psychological police thriller. It is on the edge of the seat stuff and I stayed up far into the night to complete it and discover what was in store for all parties. Their is a twist to the plot at the end which changes feelings ever so slightly and I loved the relationship between Cody and Webley, who are still obviously attracted to each other, even though their relationship fizzled out several years ago. Both are likeable characters and I would love to see a sequel where the spark might be rekindled between the pair.

I am stating it upfront. This book was not for me. I don't like books where I am told the identity of kidnapper right at the beginning without me getting to play the Detective!!

3 girls plucked away from their home settings and boarded up as prisoners and police befuddled and soon investigation starts rolling

The story is told with respect to the investigation and life of the girls at the kidnappers'. The two parts continue on and meet up in the middle and spoiler alert (the cop becomes prisoner too).

The ending was both shocking and twisted. My first book by David Jackson. The book had a police procedural vibe to it, the tension and pace was well maintained. Life of the kidnapped girls was terrible. The kidnappers themselves were extremely icky, so full marks to the author for this characterization.

I didn't like how the police investigation and life of the cops was written. This style of writing didn't gel with my personal preference. I didn't find it interesting, this is on me!!

Overall, for me it was a fast read with skipping of some parts which were not relevant to the rescue of girls.

Following DS Cody through this investigation where Poppy goes missing makes for suspenseful reading. It’s without a doubt a page turner and will have you turning the pages faster than you can read!

Part of a series, but I have read standalone

Third in the DS Nathan Cody police series set in Liverpool (but can easily be read as a standalone), following the investigation into a dark and deeply unsettling child kidnapping.

This super intense and gripping tale had me racing through the pages with it’s twists and turns and a totally unexpected ending. Wow !!!

What a gripping thrilling read.. I thoroughly enjoy this Nathan Cody series. . I was intrigued from the start and couldn't wait to get to the end. The abduction of a young girl Poppy, from her own home is the case Cody and his team have to investigate. A very different plot to what you would expect, as all is not what it seems. An engrossing,, fast paced read. I certainly enjoyed the humour amongst the team especially the rapport between Cody and DS Megan Webley. A compelling read from beginning to the end!

Fantastic novel. Thanks for the opportunity to read. Fast paced to keep the suspense and didn’t want to put it down.

This was the first book I’ve read by David Jackson, but I loved DS Nathan Cody, and will undoubtedly be reading more in this series.

Missing children is currently a common theme in psychological thrillers, but this was different to most. Although the subject matter was disturbing and unpleasant, the story and the writing were riveting.

The characters were credible, flawed human beings and the storyline was unpredictable and creepy. I was hooked from start to finish and will recommend it to others.

Okay, prepare to be utterly creeped out again with another dark and twisted tale from the always entertaining and unsettling David Jackson. This new instalment of the D.S. Nathan Cody series, begins with a typically dark scenario, and to be honest, and thankfully, doesn’t really let up, as Jackson ramps up the weirdness, the violence, and positively torments Cody even more than he has done previously. I like Cody’s character very much, as neurotic and strange as he is, despite wondering intermittently quite how he keeps his job. However, with the back-up of two strong female characters in the shape of his police partner, the long suffering DC Megan Webley, and his boss, the perfectly named DCI Stella Blunt, Cody’s relationships with both provides some interesting juxtapositions in terms of how we perceive his character. There’s also a nice little group of other police personnel, who provide moments of humour, succour and annoyance to Cody and Webley, but with an overarching feeling that there is an underlying bonhomie and cohesion to the team, apart from Cody going a bit lone wolf from time to time. With his trademark gallows humour, a few little pulls on our credulity, and a goodly amount of spine tingling tension, Don’t Make A Sound proves an enjoyable crime caper. Recommended.

I am beginning to wonder if these thrillers are no longer 'my thing'. I am unable to draw much excitement from them.This is the third book of a series and after seeing few statements elsewhere which stated that it worked as a standalone, I thought I would give it a shot.

To a large extent, it does work as a separate tale because we are given enough information about DS Cody's past, we only do not have the time to feel enough for him. The story begins with an introduction of a unique couple and their 'child'. Things accelerate almost immediately and we always have a bird's eye view of the ongoing investigation. Once the police are on the case they start to scramble since there is not much evidence available for the identification of the abductor titled the 'pied piper' by the press. There are multiple unexpected turns which salvaged the book for me and I am giving it three stars. I am left with a feeling that being more invested in Nathan Cody might be the ticket to liking this book further.

Despite not being a huge crime fan I have read all of David Jackson's other titles and so when I realised that there was a new DS Cody title I was very excited and it did not disappoint! Although the crimes included are very dark and unsettling, the power of the writing means you're unable to stop reading with almost embarrassing haste to learn of the next piece in the puzzle. The revelations about some of the supporting characters were very intriguing in this instalment and it was interesting to see how the relationship between Cody and Webley continues to grow. The twist at the end is devastating and well worth the wait.

I just love Nathan Cody and I've read the whole series of books. I'm always anxious that the next book won't quite live up to the last but I shouldn't have worried! Absolutely will be recommending this to EVERYONE!

This is the 3rd in the Nathan Cody series and i feel its the best so far. David Jackson is a phenomenal writer and totally sucks you into the book. There are some distressing scenes but they do need to be there to help you understand the background and characters. This put me through the wringer, my emotions were all over the place! Having said that, I could not put this book down, it just kept calling me back for more! I would highly recommend this book

Thankyou Netgalley for the opportunity to read this novel.
This is the first novel by David Jackson I have read. It was good, but unfortunately, not my cup of tea.

This is my first book of this author but will not be the last.
we meet the Benson family, Malcom, Harriet and Daisy... only Daisy is not really their daughter. 3 years ago they stole her from her family and kept her locked away in their house. Now they have decided that she needs a sister., poppy comes into the story they then decide they would like another daughter who is called Ellie , the story has a good twist to it and the charactor cody comes onto the story and then the police are involved and soon they put the pieces together but there is still a twist to the story in the ending
