Silent Victim edition by Caroline Mitchell Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

‘Silent Victim’ is thrilling, gripping and amazing. Caroline Mitchell has delivered everything you want from a thriller. I was hooked from the prologue and I did not put it down until the last swipe as it totally messed with my head.

As an avid reader who loves to read crime, I was astounded at how much I was shocked by this book. Just as I thought I’d worked things out, a twist would come out of nowhere and as the story unfolded I really couldn’t make my mind up as to who was telling the truth.

The prologue is one of the best suspense ones I’ve read - Mitchell really plays with your mind in ‘Silent Victim’ thats the beauty (if you can call it that) of this book... you don’t know what or who to believe.

The story is told through three main characters Alex, Emma and Luke and when you first start reading it you need to concentrate as you move between characters and jump to different time periods/years... however the talented Caroline Mitchell has set all chapters out clearly so it isn’t confusing.

The story contains short chapters and is so cleverly written, it’s easy to read. It had everything that makes a perfect mystery and is one the best Kindle First’s I have ordered. I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Silent Victim edition by Caroline Mitchell Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

I chose this as my First for February and got hooked immediately. If you’re interested in how sociopaths can charm and manipulate their victims, with the intent of being malicious and breaking them, you are in for an excellent read. Great perspective from the main characters so you know what’s going on their minds. Keeps you guessing. Well worth reading. I hope the author writes more books on this subject.
There were three first picks that looked promising, but I think I picked well because this kept my interest enough for me to finish it in a day.

The story is told from three POV Emma, her husband Alex, and Luke. Luke's POV chapters are almost all told in the past, when he was Emma's teacher. Luke is a predator, he likes teenage girls, and he's very good at grooming them and making himself look like a victim. Emma was pretty much a mess, but her whole life just seemed to be one horrible event after another. Alex was kind of annoying with his "won't anyone think of me" attitude, I rolled my eyes at him more than a few times.

It's a fast-paced book, lots of twists and turns (especially near the end), making me unsure of who to believe at times. It doesn't help that no one is quite truthful when they're explaining themselves, but that just makes me want to read faster!
An absolute winner from Caroline Mitchell.
This stand alone book is so good.
The chapters are told from the perspective of Emma, both now and in the past, her husband Alex, and Luke who was her teacher.
Luke very cleverly made friends with his pupil who had quite a tough home life. It creeped me out to be honest, seeing how easily young girls could get seduced by the attention.
I like Emma’s wedding boutique and the interactions with her sister Theresa and shop assistant Josh. There were some funny exchanges with brides-to-be!
It was so chilling in parts that it gave me goosebumps as I read. Especially when Emma was home alone and hearing things. The setting in Mersea Island meant their home got cut off by the tide at certain times, and this added tension.
Very well written and perfectly paced. There were some light-hearted parts and some really suspenseful parts of the book, it kept me turning the pages.
Silence, secrets and lies…this book has it all.
Thanks to Caroline Mitchell, Thomas & Mercer, and NetGalley for the ARC copy in which I give an honest review.
I love dark psychological suspense, and was looking forward to reading this one. The story intrigued me at the start, but things, for me, fell apart as they went along. I'll do my best to explain without spoilers.

The story is told via three narrators - Emma, her husband Alex, and the supposed dead man Luke - all in first person. We also go back and forth with three timelines 2017, 2013, and 2002/2003. All the transitions are clearly marked at the start of the chapters, so you need to pay attention to the year and the narrator's name. I had no problem with this layout, though I'm not a fan of this much back-and-forth storytelling.

Early on, we're treated to Luke's psychopathic narration, and we see his seduction of teenage Emma. This is handled well, in that we witness the way a predator grooms a child and we feel for Emma's situation. The problem in giving Luke this narrating part and showing us exactly what happened is that it takes all suspense away from Emma's current part. As the story unfolds, everyone but we readers is questioning whether Emma has made up the whole thing. Is she crazy? Is she the one obsessed? I would've liked to be asking those same questions along with the other characters.

The pace is slow through the first 3/4 of the book. We spend a whole lot of time in each character's thoughts, mulling over the same thing, over and over. The suspense quickly turned into tedium for me.

There isn't a whole lot of character development. We only see them through the lens of the specific situation. I found it difficult to connect with any of them, and I just didn't feel the emotion I should have given such a powerful topic.

I saw the twists coming early on, though I have to say that I expected a slightly different take on one of them. I can't get into the specifics, and will only say that it changed my opinion of Emma. The way the twist played out made me lose sympathy for her. More importantly, I couldn't make the leap of someone in her situation choosing as she did in such a calculating manner.

The last quarter of the book speeds up considerably. The outcome is predictable and, sadly, by the time I got there I found I didn't really care.
