I wish I could have been in Dana Perry/RG Belsky’s head, at the least, looked over his shoulder, as he wrote The Silent Victim. It reads as if he sat down at the keyboard and didn’t get up until the story was finished—a consistent rhythm and tone from beginning to end. No dragging parts. No sagging middle, no boredom.
The story, the character, grabbed me and twisted me into knots. I suspected everyone and trusted no one. And identified with Jessie way too much. (My own personal mantra is trust no one...suspect everybody).
Jessie Tucker is a fascinating character. She seemed to have few resources to call on. Sure, a few, but not like other amateur detectives in books and on tv. More deductive reasoning, I think, that sometimes led her to the wrong conclusion and the wrong culprit. I was right there with her. Believe me, there were plenty of culprits!
Jessie didn’t write things down in a reporter’s notebook, list suspects on a whiteboard or type notes into a computer. She didn’t ask about DNA or a lot of cop-type evidence. Her skills were those of a reporter: ask questions, get answers. And then ask another question.
I haven’t been captivated by a book in a long time. The Silent Victim is a fascinating read and Jessie Tucker is great. I’m looking forward to the next book in this new series—with fingers crossed that the author doesn’t disappoint. The Silent Victim is a hard act to follow.
