Publisher's summary

Senior Detective Kate Wakeland senses dark undercurrents in her beloved small town, Tallman's Valley.

She's glimpsed a silent town lying beneath the valley – a place where the streets and landscapes are the same, but where daylight never reaches. But as Kate begins to investigate the silent town, a shocking multiple shooting occurs on the mountain that bookends the valley, Witness Mountain.

Kate is forced to suspend all else and focus on the case at hand. How did a frail, elderly man manage to shoot his family? Did he have the help of his grandson, a teenage boy who can't account for his whereabouts that morning?

The height of a devastating fire season hinders Kate at every turn. Through the smoky veil hanging in the valley, Kate begins to suspect a connection between the Witness Mountain shootings and the silent town.

But the dangers are far greater than Kate ever imagined. There are people who will kill to conceal what they know and what they've done.

Awful Awful Irish accent

The story was engaging, I love a long book and this one was very long. But I almost didnt finish dur to the terrible Irish accent, it made me cringe. Please do not do it again, I thought he was from the Caribbean at first.

narrator has squeaky 60s cheerleader voice .

I couldn't get used to the unsuitable voice. None of the characters were right.

A Great Series

I have thoroughly enjoyed this three book series. Anni Taylor weaves a compelling, multifaceted plot that somehow comes together perfectly in the end.
I highly recommend reading the books in this series and suggest reading them in order.

Great end to the trilogy

As always I loved the story, you really feel like you are personally connected with the characters… I’ll miss them.
Unfortunately I really do battle with the voice especially some of the failed accents.
