Summary: Speak No Evil is the story of investigative reporter Simone Garcia, a loud mouthed young woman dedicated to chasing down a killer known as The Seamstress, whose killings feel random and senseless, yet cold and calculated. She is then thrust into a partnership with seasoned cop Detective Leroy Stone, a man with very little to say but with the coldest of shoulders. What haunts Simone and Leroy the most is that the public seems to be rooting for the killer because of the targets he chooses. After a murder happens far too close to home, Simone and Detective Stone must stop a madman who is seemingly two steps ahead, while learning the true power of words and how we use them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Reader's Thoughts: Speak No Evil is a new thriller about a worn down detective and a young reporter who are thrown together to find serial killer who is hunting down the worst of the worst. Mob bosses, Power-hungry Typhoons and Corruption everywhere. The worst part is that everyone is supporting the serial killer, known as The Seamstress.
This book came recommended to me and I had to say that I was a bit surprised. Besides the cover-art of a demented scarecrow, there was actually a surprise in the book for the reader. While the author has his author's note section as a Prologue, I was glad I read it. In there is the surprise for the reader, which continues into ever chapter.
We are thrown into the killings so quickly, that it's hard to understand what's going on at first. There are quite a few details that you could miss if you weren't ready. I loved the use of a brainwashed person using scripture as their reasoning. While that might throw off some readers, you have to understand that the concept is used daily whether you know it or not, you might of been subjected to it unknowingly.
The only disappointing thing was the book was quite short. It's a quick and easy read. I actually really enjoyed this book and hope the author is planning on writing more.
