The Hunter family has had a quiet night, slept well, but woke up to a nightmare. Sometime in the middle of the night, someone strolled through their house and viciously murdered their young daughter.

They didn't hear a thing .. but then they are deaf.

The police call in Paige Northwood, an interpreter for the deaf, to take statements from the victim's family. Although they seem to be in various stages of grief, Paige senses they are hiding something.

How did someone get into the house? Why would anyone target this child? Is the killer a member of the family? Was this a random opportunity? Did someone have a grudge against the family?

There are more questions than answers, and Paige is determined to find the truth.

There are plenty of suspects to follow in this well-crafted mystery. Paige is a unique character. As the author, herself, is a teacher and specializes in Deaf Education, I expected a certain level of credibility .. I was not disappointed. There are twists and turns leading to a most unexpected conclusion. This is the first of a terrific series.

Many thanks to the author / Harper 360 / Avon Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this mystery. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
