Book Description

August 29, 2000

Donna Anders has been praised for writing "magnificent" (Ann Rule) psychological suspense thrillers with "subtle touches that Hitchcock would have loved" (Edna Buchanan). Now she sends a young Seattle woman into a terrifying labyrinth of corporate deception where every scream falls prey to
Dead Silence

As a counselor for International Air, Liza MacDonough has helped hundreds of displaced employees through the trauma of downsizing. The loss of her husband, who mysteriously vanished a year ago, has only intensified her dedication -- her work is the only thing she has left. Now both her job and her life are in serious jeopardy. Clients have confided their suspicion that International Air?s sudden rash of unexplained layoffs are tied to a highly secretive and disturbing experimental company project. Liza is determined to investigate, but someone is watching her every move -- stalking her, stealing her files, ransacking her apartment, harming her friends and coworkers. Certain that she?s in possession of dangerous information, Liza must quickly piece together a vast puzzle of treachery and subversion -- before she finds herself permanently terminated.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, October 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
And I thought Another Life and The Flower Man were scary! The suspense in Dead Silence started from the very first page and did not let up: esculating and building a frightening situation, resolving into a terrifying climax. I read all night and continued to do so even when my vision blurred from fatigue. I couldn't put this book down until I'd finished reading it! I am already anticipating Donna Anders next book. I can hardly wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Chilling Mystery in Seattle, October 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
In the movies, Seattle is usually depicted as a romantic spot ("Sleepless in Seattle,") and in soap operas as the place everyone disappears to when they're written off the show. In Anders' latest psychological suspense, the streets, alleys, houseboats, high-rise condos and the aircraft industry of the Emerald City are permeated with terror that surpasses even her first two thrillers (Another Life and The Flower Man.) Anders has a terrific sense of suspense and she is a real story teller. I didn't know who the "bad guy--" (Bad girl?) was right up until the end, and I began to glance over MY shoulder to see who might be following ME because I got so caught up in the scariness of Dead Silence. Donna Anders is surely destined to be one of America's top suspense writers, and Dead Silence proves it. Note: Do not read this book alone at night!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mind Teaser, December 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
A major fan of psychological thrillers, I found this book to be among the top in this genre. The female protagonist, Liza MacDonough, is compelling, strong, and believable. Although understandably frightened by a string of fatal "accidents" to people close to her, she remains proactive in trying to research her clients' complaints of conspiracy. Donna Anders excels at making every character we meet, a possible anatagonist, so that we, along with Liza, don't know whom to trust. For analytical readers who love to problem solve, this story will delight you. The suspense keeps you caught in its grip right up through the end.
