How exactly does a person move beyond a childhood filled with death? Death that seems to take form and follow... yet stay in front all the while, taunting with it's ability to control the very life one tries to escape?
This story begins in early 1900's with the death of a young boy's father - and what follows is a not so sweet serial killer mystery in surrounding Georgia country where everyone is suspect and one boy is destined to be haunted - if not hunted - forever.

Encore plus sombre, Seul le silence est un roman avant tout psychologique, un genre de thriller sans réel suspens ni enquête. L’enquête menée pas Joseph Vaughan est principalement intérieure. Traumatisé par la Mort en général et celle de son père et des premières victimes en particulier, Joseph restera lié à une fatalité qui le hante depuis l’enfance.

Recommended to Carrie by: Roger Ellory

When I first started reading R.J.Ellory’s, A Quiet Belief in Angels, I thought,

"This is a con.....this can't be right.....this is a joke!"

I was convinced I was reading the works of the Master, Steinbeck.

Right from the opening lines, Ellory had me drawn in, taken under the influence of, and then totally intoxicated by his verbal skills and mastery over phrase, paragraph and perfect prose.

Finally! I have finished this book. I thought I never would. It's SOOO slow-moving, but the prose is just brilliant. It reads like an enchanting, on-going poem. Don't read it for the story, read it for the words, because the latter far surpasses the former.
However it is a good story as well, slightly marred by the fact that there was no mystery in it for me as two of my relatives let slip the murderer's name in front of me before I started reading. People like that should be hanged.

I rarely read crime stories and most of the time I enjoyed this book, not to discover who was the serial killer [far too many novels about serial killers!] but in order to discover more about James Vaughan, the main character.

É um livro interessante e com uma excelente narrativa, no entanto, creio que promete demais como thriller/policial e no fim não se aproxima disso. Breves descrições das meninas assassinadas e quase no final um momento ou outro que nos prende mas pouco mais que isso.
A história de vida da personagem principal é realmente surpreendente.

This wouldn’t have been a bad crime thriller, had it not been ruined by the author’s apparent belief that he’s a much better writer than he actually is. He aims for the lyrical and poetic and falls flat because he doesn’t apparently understand the value of restraint or economy, and that constant repetition of an idea will diminish its impact.

I suspect that many editors today aren’t ruthless enough, and are too ready to swallow their authors’ self-hyping. A good editor might have sug...more

Ellory's "A Quiet Belief in Angels." There's a part of Joseph we can't quite get to, hidden by the cloak of enigma or numbness, and Ellory holds the reins relentlessly. But it's no wonder. In his story, spanning decades, Joseph is haunted by the brutal deaths of young girls in his small Georgia town. As the bodies of murdered and mutilated girls pile up in Augusta Falls and in surrounding counties, starting before the Second World War, Joseph organizes The Guardians, a band of his buddies determined to protect the town's young girls.

Of course they fail. Joseph finds one of the girls, in pieces, himself. Already haunted by death — his father is gone — Joseph has a lifelong obsession with finding the murderer and with his own failings, through his mid-teen years doted on by his teacher, through his expanding relationship with her, through the apparent resolution of the culprit's identity and his mother's slipping mental grip.

The book's back-cover description gives the impression that The Guardians play a huge role in the novel, like a gathering of Stephen King kids banding together against evil. But that element is not very prominent in "A Quiet Belief in Angels." It's a mystery story, a character study, a decades-spanning tale of Joseph's obsession. The book's opening has Joseph, as a middle-aged man, in a room with a dead man he has shot, a man he believes to be the one responsible for all the murders. Joseph's here-and-now musings keep recurring even as he details his life from boyhood to manhood and recounts the tragedies he keeps seeing/experiencing.

In many ways, Ellory's book is a wonder, his powers of description occasionally superb. Still, there are slow spots in the tale, even if seemingly dull scenes turn out to have meaning. I found the killer's ability to commit atrocities in many communities over many years, completely unseen, to be a bit of a stretch. The story's impact lessened a bit for me as Joseph grew from boyhood, but Ellory kept satisfying twists and turns coming, and the tale did stay with me. Three stars, then, but on the very high side. I confess to not having heard of Ellory before, but he may be one who bears watching, and a look back at his earlier books may be in order. (less)

Ellory captures the human experience in wonderfully poignant prose, as he details the events in the life of young Joseph Vaughn in rural Georgia; including the complete life altering affect a series of brutal murders had on his life and on the community.

More compelling, however, was the intertwining story line of the tragedy experienced by the losses to his immediate family. "Death came that day. Workmanlike, methodical, indifferent to fashion and favor, disrespecful of Passov...more

A book with a lot of promise that fails miserably. What captured my attention in the beginning was the prose style...it was very evocative but then it came to drown in its over reliance on similes...that repeat themselves over and over and over.
The story itself started good but became unendingly episodic and cliche. The serial killer narrative and coming of age narratives never gelled. Characterizations were a little interesting but this was lost in a story that went nowhere, I stopped read...more

His life is punctuated, defined, by losses of those he loves most: his dad, his mother, his 1st wife (who'd been his school teacher), his 2nd love.

That's not counting the string of deaths of young playmate-age girls who are being sexually assaulted killed in, around his small Georgia town, w. no culprit ever found. Those deaths shape his childhood, as does the onset of his mother's lunacy, which leads to her being isntitutionalized when Vaughn is still a young teen.

Vaughn is a talented writer. But even that gift does not protect him from the pain and scars of all his losses. He even does a long prison stretch for being -- wrongly -- convicted of the murder of his fiancee, who had been cut into pieces by her murderer, just as some of the earlier child victims had died. (Vaughn is freed, belatedly, after the first trial is proven to have been based on circumstantial evidence as well as inadequate legal defense.)

By book's end, Vaughn does solve the serial murders that started in his child hood -- and had continued, in other nearby Southern locales, through the decades, he eventually learns.

The author uses symbolism - a floating white feather - to symbolize and foreshadow loss in Vaughn's life. The first feather appeared at the time of his father's death. Somehow Vaughn connects those feathers with the concept that when good people die, they turn into angels.

But angels are celestial creatures that don't seem to bring much comfort to the ever-grieving Vaughn. Another reason why the book's lasting scent is sorrow, sadness, solitude.

Throughout the story, author interjects little slices of the very final events. We see that Vaughn will eventually commit a homicide.

But the homicide he ultimately does commit gets written off, ironically, as self-defense, which I suppose is sort of true. But it's a deliberate act by Vaughn. I believe he would have done it whether his target attacked him or not. So in that sense, it was murder.

The "target" I won't identify here, except to say it's the murderer of all the young girls, and Vaughn's fiancee, too.

At times in my reading, I had thought this individual would turn out to be the serial murderer. But I'm also guessing that was Ellory's foreshadowing skill rather than my own powers of deduction. That is, the thought of this man as the perpetrator would occasionally cross my mind, and then I would forget or abandon that idea, as the author introduced other information.

I was shocked, later, when I looked up the author's website and learned he's British. How could he have understood and conveyed the American South so well without having ever lived here? It floors me. Maybe a non-resident could describe life in California or New York, but the deep South?!

Author chooses, in his brief book-flap bio, to point out that he was orphaned, and he served jail time for poaching. Both experiences must have provided him material for this book, I'm guessing.(less)

Starting with his fathers death when he was just 11 years old, and continuing through his mothers downfall, the courtships and subsequent deaths of the two great loves of his life, the significant friendships, a great miscarriage of justice, his writing successes, and ultimately the series of deaths that seem to haunt him and contaminate every part of his life- so much so that he begins to believe that Death itself stalks him.

Although it is a crime novel, it reads as much like a family saga as anything else. It is set in a small town in Georgia, where a young boy, Joseph Vaughan, grows up as most other boys in such a setting, until a tragedy strikes and a young girl is found murdered and violated on the outskirts of town. The townspeople are aghast at such an event, and begin to look at each other in a different way. The war is beginning in Europe and people are rethinking their attitudes about foreigners in their midst. A German family comes under suspicion and suffers the effects of their neighbors bias. Then, another young girl is found; this time, not only murdered, but mutilated. Joseph Vaughan and his young male friends decide that they have to do something to help. They form a club whose purpose is to watch over the young girls of the area to see that they are kept safe. In spite of their avowed efforts, additional girls turn up dead over the years. The police from several counties don’t have a clue as to the killer’s identity. One day, Joseph finds another body and is traumatized by his discovery. He vows that he will dedicate his life to determining who the killer was and bringing him to justice. In the midst of all thin, Joseph goes on with his life. He wants to be a writer and is encouraged in this by his young teacher. Later, when Joseph is 18-years old, he and the teacher have an affair which turns into a full-blown love relationship. Joseph is dogged, however, by some evil force that thwarts him at every turn, and not only turns this relationship into a tragedy, but lays the groundworks for similar negative events for the rest of his life. There is a surprise ending, but you had the same clues as Joseph did throughout the book. They were subtle clues, but they were there. This is one of those books that you will pick up and read again in the years to come. It is that good. Highly recommended.(less)

I just went, "free book!" *yoink* Thankfully it sounded interesting enough and it's set during a time period I normally like so what the hell, right?

It took a little bit to get into and the voice is a retroactive one - the grown up Joseph Vaughan telling the story as he grew up so it's a little strange to read a kid having such high end thoughts. But you get used to it. The only thing I found really annoying was how the MC kept dropping all of his I's. The sentences would often start with the next word in the sentence. I think the author was trying to go for a particular kind of voice but I couldn't help but think, all the way through, that it was just a means to have a first person story not be littered with I's. Kind of weak but there you go.

Joseph is actually an amazingly fleshed out character. Him and his mother. You can't help but not connect with both of them, especially since, for most of the story, Joseph's still pretty young (24 before the shit really hits the fan). You can't help but feel so bad for him, and for everyone in the town, for the murders that keep happening. And when Joseph discovers one of the bodies when he was 11 or 12, it'll take your breath away.

I ended up steam-rolling right through this book because it was basically one tragedy right after the next and I'm sick and interested like that. This kid, let me tell you, had a shitty hand dealt to him over and over and over again and it makes for an immensely compelling story, as demented as that is. It's sad what happens to his mom but in the end you have to question whether it was justified or not. That kind of questioning is all over the story and it was one of the reasons why I liked it like I did.

While the murder mystery is working it's way out in real time, there's a shorter part scattered throughout the book with Joseph talking to a corpse and you can only assume it's the murderer. So when twists and herrings get thrown in, you know it's not the end, it's not it because that part that you keep reading, with the dead body, didn't happen yet. So while you read, and while pieces are thrown at you, you're trying to figure out who's the guilty party.

But the thing with mysteries is, the end is the be all end all of the book. If the ending sucks, it'll destroy the rest of it. Do you see where I'm going with this?

I don't want to give it away but I will say it felt like I was driving 70 miles an hour, slammed on the brakes and threw my car into reverse. I was in such a WTF? World when the murderer came out that I didn't know what to do with myself. It's not revealed until the very last page of the book who it is so I went from going, "Yay!" to "Huh?" in a matter of one sentence to another, it was so sudden.

And usually, with hindsight and the knowledge of who did it, you can do back through the book and pick out all the clues that would lead to that person. I couldn't do that with this one. To me those clues just weren't there and the murderer might as well been chosen out of a hat for all it was worth.

The ending totally destroyed the book for me because I felt the conclusion was so random and so out of whack with the rest of the story that I just couldn't get over it. Maybe I missed something. Something big. But even with my sieve of a memory, I would still be able to pick out instances that would give it all away. Not here. I'm telling you, totally random.

Maybe someone else, someone that's better at reading mysteries and subtleties than I am, would do better with it. It's a pretty damn good book. The end just FUBARed it for me, though, unfortunately.(less)

The first half of this book I really liked. The story concerns a young boy dealing with murders occurring in his rural country town. Set in the early forties, the book really captures a sense of time and place. Ellroy’s style is strong, melding pastoral poetry to the brutal reality of the crimes. In fact it comes across as a version of Donna Tartt’s ‘The Little Friend’, albeit one that seems to be heading to a more definite conclusion.

About R.J. Ellory

Roger began his first novel on November 4th, 1987 and did not stop, except for three days when he was going through a divorce from his first wife, until July of 1993.

During this time he completed twenty-two novels, most of them in longhand, and accumulated several hundred polite and complimentary rejection letters from many different and varied publishers.

He stopped writing out of sheer frustration and did not start again for eight years.

In the early part of September 2001 he decided to start writing again. This decision was based on the realization that it was the only thing he had ever really wanted to do.

Between August 2001 and January 2002 he wrote three books, the second of which was called ‘Candlemoth’. This was purchased by Orion and published in 2003. ‘Candlemoth’ was translated into German, Dutch and Italian, and has now also been purchased for translation in numerous other languages. The book also secured a nomination on the shortlist for the Crime Writers’ Association Steel Dagger for Best Thriller 2003. His second book, ‘Ghostheart’, was released in 2004, and his third book, ‘A Quiet Vendetta’, was released in August 2005. In 2006 he published ‘City of Lies’, and once again secured a nomination for the CWA Steel Dagger for Best Thriller of that year. His fifth book – ‘A Quiet Belief In Angels’ - was published in August 2006, and in the latter part of the year it was selected for the phenomenally successful British TV equivalent of the Oprah Winfrey Book Club, the Richard and Judy Book Club.

‘A Quiet Belief In Angels’ went on to be shortlisted for the Barry Award for Best British Crime Fiction, the 813 Trophy, the Quebec Booksellers’ Prize, The Europeen Du Point Crime Fiction Prize, and was winner of the Inaugural Prix Roman Noir Nouvel Observateur. It has since been voted Best Thriller of 2009 in The Strand Magazine. The book was also optioned for film, and Roger has recently completed the screenplay for Oscar-winning French director, Olivier Dahan.

Following on from ‘A Quiet Belief In Angels’, Roger released ‘A Simple Act of Violence’, again securing a nomination for Best British Crime Fiction of 2008. In late 2009 he released ‘The Anniversary Man’ to rave reviews.

Love was awkward and foolish, it was aggressive and simple, possessed of so many indefinable qualities that it could never be conveyed in language. Love was being.” — 8 people liked it
