Book Description
Donna Anders has been praised for writing "magnificent" (Ann Rule) psychological suspense thrillers with "subtle touches that Hitchcock would have loved" (Edna Buchanan). Now she sends a young Seattle woman into a terrifying labyrinth of corporate deception where every scream falls prey to
Dead Silence
As a counselor for International Air, Liza MacDonough has helped hundreds of displaced employees through the trauma of downsizing. The loss of her husband, who mysteriously vanished a year ago, has only intensified her dedication -- her work is the only thing she has left. Now both her job and her life are in serious jeopardy. Clients have confided their suspicion that International Air¹s sudden rash of unexplained layoffs are tied to a highly secretive and disturbing experimental company project. Liza is determined to investigate, but someone is watching her every move -- stalking her, stealing her files, ransacking her apartment, harming her friends and coworkers. Certain that she¹s in possession of dangerous information, Liza must quickly piece together a vast puzzle of treachery and subversion -- before she finds herself permanently terminated.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATLE...,
By
This review is from: Dead Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
Liza Edwards is a counselor for a company in Seattle, Washington that seems to be downsizing, and it is her job to help employees come to terms with losing their jobs. With a husband that mysteriously vanished, Lisa has her own private demons with which to contend. Suddenly, however, she finds herself embroiled in a work related mystery, and people around her seem to be dying without rhyme or reason.
Feeling that she is being stalked, Liza realizes that her company may be involved in some highly questionable practices. When it dawns on her that she may be holding the key to the secret of certain illegal activities that may be taking place, Liza finds herself walking a fine line between life and death. This is a moderately interesting novel of suspense that is hampered by somewhat pedestrian writing and characters that are not well-fleshed. This is a plot driven book, where the plot itself is overcome by the torpor of the writing, causing the book to fail to rise to any great heights. Moreover, the main character is not only not particularly likeable, she is also a bit of a boob, the kind of person who walks into a dark haunted house by herself and finds herself wondering why she feels spooked. Still, the plot has its moments, giving the reader whose expectations are not too high a modicum of enjoyment.

It's a stinker!!,

This review is from: Dead Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
I read a lot and this one was horrible. The writing was very amateurish - the plot was predictible and the characters were annoying. I will not read this author again.

Where did the time go?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
If you love suspense you have to read this book. I sat down with this book to read for a few minutes and before I knew it I had read the complete book. I could not lay it down. You must read this book.
