From Publishers Weekly

Kramer's smooth, slightly sardonic delivery is a good fit for Perry's latest mixture of dark humor and suspense. The chase thriller focuses on four characters—the hunted (private eye Jack Till and Wendy Harper, a beauty he helped disappear from assassins six years before) and the hunters (the bickering, tango-dancing hit team of Paul and Sylvie Turner who've been assigned to wipe out Wendy). Kramer barely alters his reading voice for Till and Wendy, adding a wary flatness for the sleuth and a softer tone of uncertainty for the hapless woman-in-jeopardy. For the Turners, however, he shows a bit more vocal dexterity. Paul has the deep, vaguely hollow sound of a very effective con man, while Sylvie's bogus East Coast socialite drawl loses much of its cool refinement when the going gets rough. The plot is tricky—Wendy is forced from hiding when her former partner is accused of her murder—but as convoluted and complex as it gets, Kramer's well-paced presentation makes every twist register.

From AudioFile

Michael Kramer masterfully portrays retired LAPD detective turned PI Jack Till, who used his professional knowledge to help Wendy Harper disappear when her life was threatened. Kramers sensitive narration balances the compelling action with the intricate relationships of Till and Wendy as well as that of the sociopathic couple chasing them. Perry explores the choices made by his well-developed characters, and Kramer delivers a memorable performance. He handles the numerous characters perfectly, using subtle vocal tones to shift between them. This team is a crowd-pleaser. S.C.A.

3.0étoiles sur 5 It Was hard to Stay Silent, Déc 10 2007

This review is from: Silence (Hardcover)
I have been a big fan of Perry. I have read most of his work and I really love the series with Jane Whitefield, the person who hwlps people to disapear and begin a new life. When I saw that this book had a different character but a similar theme I couldn't wait to read it.

The book is certainly not a bad book but it did not live up to expectations. The main character, Jack Till, is interesting, as is the person he helped disapear, Wendy harper.

But the book also spends as much time with all the characters, the bad guy behind everything, and the paid assassin couple, who, in many ways, were the most interesting characters in the book.

And perhaps that is the porblem with this book. When all the characters are presented equally, it is hard to know where to focus.

And because of the nature of the characters, I found the plot to be somewhat predictable. I usually don't mind predictable plots because I like my stories to be character driven. But when all the characters are presented equally, I had to focus more on what was happenning, rather than on who was doing what and why.

And so I did not stay silent when reading the book, but occasionally groaned.
