A Bitter Silence: An Australian Crime Thriller
SOME THINGS CAN NEVER BE SPOKEN

No one is telling the truth and everyone has something to hide.
Something much uglier, much darker, lurks beneath the surface.
Something that should have been left in the silence.
A Bitter Silence is the third in a new series of knife-edge thrillers set in the underbelly of Perth, Western Australia.
Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, Jack Gatland, JM Dalgleish, Patricia Cornwell and other police procedural thrillers.

Another winner from JT Viner.
Packer is back solving another murder, with Claire Perry as his main sidekick for this investigation. As well as the usual really well written characters and surprise twists, we get more insight into how the team works together and Packer’s unusual skills.
There is also some surprising humour mixed in with the tragedy, which works well.
The ending was completely unexpected and totally shocking.

These books just keep getting better and better.
Tony Packer and his team investigate the death of a woman who is run down by a driver during a storm. As they dig into her background we learn more about her and the list of suspects grows.
As always with JT Viner’s books, there are twists which completely change what we think we know, and the final conclusion is not what we expect.

I read this book almost in on go because it was so good. It was another really exciting thriller.
I love the characters and I love the way they work together to solve the mystery and work out the clues.
The suspects were also well written and the twists as the story went on kept things moving forward.
Excellent book.

The third book in the series of Packer mysteries is the best so far. The characters are more developed, the plot twists are more unexpected and the final reveal is more surprising.
Great characters, great story,
But now I have to wait for the next one to come out!

I loved reading this book . It was as good or maybe better than the others in the series. Really suspenseful and really gripping.
I pre-ordered the next one so I can keep reading.

Another fantastic entry in the Tony Packer series of mysteries. More great characters and twists, keeping the surprises going right to the end.
It had a bit of a downbeat ending but that just adds to the realism of a great series. Really good reading.
