Alex Coombs has created a genuine heroine flaws and all in this story set on the Isle of Jura. The descriptions of Jura themselves are enjoyable never mind that they are just a backdrop for the story of murder and betrayal. A female heroine in the mould of Jack Reacher who would probable give even him a good hiding, yes maybe a tad far fetched at times but that makes it even more enjoyable.

Another new author for me and I really hope that this is the start of a new series featuring Detective Hanlon. She is being investigated for using excessive force used when arresting a suspect. It seems that wherever she goes trouble finds her. This lady can certainly look after herself and relishes confrontation. Hanlon is forced to take leave while her future in the force is being investigated. A remote Scottish island is her destination, little does she realise that this island is more dangerous than London. I love this character, a woman who can definitely look after herself but also has a softer side. I loved this book and this island is one I will not be visiting. Can't wait to read more about Hanlon. Almost five stars and highly recommended.
Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC.

Definitely not a typical crime novel! A completely unbelievable, unrealistic, over the top yet highly entertaining read with a scenic background.

Nothing like the lead character, professionally disgraced, seeking self-understanding in a remote location only to find an opportunity for redemption!
"Silenced for Good" took place in, what was exotic to me, locale with believable characters. I was only able to figure out half of the plot early on and was somewhat surprised by the ending. Everything made sense to me and I just didn't connect the dots.
This was an enjoyable book for me, no stretching of the imagination, just a description of believable events and characters.
Bravo!

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. This is not my usual genre therefore am extremely pleased and grateful for opening up my mind to something totally different. 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. The premise of this book sounded really interesting but unfortunately I had a hard time getting into it overall and it took me awhile to finish. I couldn't quite connect with the main character.

This book was an ok read. I liked how the author wrote the plot and her characters. The only problem I had with this book is, that even though it said this book was a mystery thriller it really wasn't. I just wished it was more scary.

Loved this book especially how one woman fights for what is right. Loved the drama cant wait for the next in the series
