4.0 out of 5 stars
An entertaining read, August 15, 2000
This is the second in the series and the second that I've read. I have thoroughly enjoyed both. The characters are believable and fun. The mystery is enticing and keeps one's attention. "Starshine" is a real world cat. She does not talk or help solve mysteries, but definetly adds interest to the story. . .especially if one is a cat lover.

Satan's Silence delights, entertains, and questions., March 5, 2000
This review is from: Satan's Silence: The Second Cassidy Mccabe Mystery (Hardcover)
Genre: Mystery/Suspense For lovers of occult mysteries, Cassidy McCabe once again comes through a powerful heroine bent on solving the mystery of a missing baby before she becomes a sacrifice on Satan's alter. The unstoppable Cassidy is pulled far beyond her professional duties, resorting to peanut butter cups and the comfort of her cat, Starshine, to lending her strength to do what must be done. And she does it with her own style that will leave the reader chuckling over Cassidy's antics all the while sitting on the edge of the chair as the tension of the plot builds. Picking up the timeline shortly after the first novel leaves off, Cassidy's romance with the sexy Zach Moran is definitely not purring along. Zach has begun to emotionally distance himself from Cassidy, and she figures there's got to be another woman in the picture. Meanwhile, Cassidy's patient, Dana Voss, unexpectedly regress during therapy, becoming child like and recounting a satanic ritual sacrifice of a playmate. But given Dana's psychiatric history, Cassidy doesn't know if the memory is real or a delusion. When Cassidy mentions a few details to Zach, his crime report instinct immediately lands them in a graveyard, determined to learn the secrets of the past. The past has way of quickly catching up to the future. Break-ins with nothing missing, flower deliveries with dangerous contents, and the kidnapping of Dana's baby makes it clear they are all in danger. As Dana's memories continue to surface, Cassidy must find the answers to the missing child before the police arrest Dana for murder, and before the missing child is sacrificed in secret midnight rituals. Tempered with concern over Starshine, the infamous cat of the first mystery, and trouble with her romance, Satan's Silence will delight, entertain, and leave the reader questioning their own philosophical beliefs regarding good and evil. I can hardly wait to read the next book of this series. 304 pages Cindy Penn, Reviewer

Excellent, spell-binding, August 27, 1999
By A Customer
Satan's Silence by Alex Matthews is a literary work of the first order. It is impossible to put it down as one becomes immersed in the evil of satanism. It is a suspense, mystery novel where the action never stops. The plot is tightly woven, with appropriate clues which invite the reader to guess "who done it." However, Ms. Matthews stays one step ahead and delivers a smashing, surprise ending. A very slight drawback is that the heroine, Cassidy, does a lot of self-talk in the second person, in italics, which can be distracting. But after a few chapters, the self-talk seems natural and doesn't detract at all from the excellent story.
