Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Stephen Berry was about to jump off a bridge with a suicide barrier on it but was talked down by a suicide prevention counselor. Days later he is found dead, believed to have jumped off a castle. DI Luc Callanach and his superior DCI Ava Turner are assigned to the investigation. Did Stephen jump or did someone help him off the castle walls.

Edinburgh seems to have a rash of suicides - a woman taking a bath in her home, a man electrocuted. Are these deaths linked? Are they suicides or is there something more sinister in the works?

The story could have moved along at a bit of a faster pace but otherwise it was an engaging thriller.

I was excited to receive a copy of Helen Fields newest book Perfect Crime!
She is on of my favourite authors....and this book did not disappoint.
Hooked me from the first page, I enjoy the main characters of this series, Ava and Luc...I feel like I know them, that’s good writing.
The book kept me guessing throughout,...until the end!
Thank you netgalley. I loved this book. Will be patiently waiting for Helen Fields next book .... love the sneak peek at the end of this one.

Wow, yet again another brilliant book from Helen Fields. I have read all of the books by her and they just keep getting better. I love the way the story of the detectives follows on throughout the books, and her ability to bring back previous characters when you are least expecting them. Throughout this book I had my suspicions about the villain's identity but I wasn't prepared for the reveal. Can't wait for the next one.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this arc.

I have enjoyed all the previous books in this series very much and do recommend reading them in order. The criminal elements and hunt for the killer(s) was excellent as always. The pacing was somewhat choppy with the developments of Ava's and Luc's personal relationship intruding into their working relationship. Seems like they both have some maturing to do. The new characters to Ava's team are very interesting and I look forward to more of them in future books.

4.5 stars

Tense dark multi layered a rash of suicides an investigation that has twists and turns.This book drew me in kept me racing through the pages unputdownable.Highly recommend an author I will be following.#netgalley #perfectcrine#avonuk,

I have enjoyed all of the previous novels by this author so I was delighted to receive my ARC in return for my honest review. This is my favourite so far.

DI Luc Callaghan and DCI Ava Turner return to investigate murders that have been disguised to look like suicides, that is until the murderer gains more confidence and escalates the crimes. Ava continues to get into scrapes, being rescued by Luc.

During the story Luc, visits an old man with Alzheimer’s in a care home. The man is murdered shortly after Luc’s visit and Luc is less than honest about his reason for the visit. When another man, connected to the first, is murdered as well, Luc is under ‘administrative leave’ but it is his nemesis who has returned.

The relationship between Luc and Ava has been called a ‘friendship’ by them both but, as a reader, I can see this could easily develop into more. Two new people join the team to add different dimensions and all characters are well developed and portrayed.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books, UK and Helen Fields for this ARC of Perfect Silence in return for my honest review.

Simply an awesome read. Highly recommended.

I raced through this because i literally couldn't stop reading it, this story is addictive. Ava and Luc are my favorite pair to read about at the moment and there story is developing in such a brilliant and true to them way that i don't care it's a slow burn. Every interaction with them is important and adds to the layers. The plot concerned what can be a difficult and delicate subject matter but it was handled so well and with respect which is very important to me. I also loved how the author tied in things that happened in book one and you may have thought done with. I enjoyed this so much i'm going to go back and reread the whole series so far!
