Welcome to Litsy!

Paige, as the only hearing member of her family, grew up in the deaf community and now works as a BSL interpreter. A child of another deaf family was murdered in the night and she is called in to assist with interviews. I expected to be riveted but after the first couple chapters the story was slow. Worse, Paige was over emotional and unprofessional, constantly demanding the police tell her everything they knew then becoming angry & interfering ⬇️

Got this read through NetGalley. A toddler is murdered overnight in a house of deaf parents. A police sign language interpreter helps figure out who did it. A beautifully written take on a disability and a tragedy.

This could have been a great read had it not been for the insufferable main character. Unprofessional & a general pain in the proverbial. A pity as I have an ARC of the second book in the series to read. Hope the MC improves in that one 🤞 A disappointing 2⭐️

A very different insight into the deaf community. A grim tale of tragedy.

A tragic murder of a toddler in the house of a deaf family necessitates the need for the police to hire a BSL interpreter. While the story itself was unique it became very repetitive around the halfway mark which is also around the time the main character became annoying. This was an interesting story, just not for me

Brunch at a local bookshop I haven‘t been too before ❤️

Starting the next ARC. I wonder if I will ever get caught up with these 😬

I liked this book! It was a quick read. I thought I knew who the killer was and then I‘d change my mind. Pretty sure I thought everyone was the killer at some point, and I love a book that can make me feel that way! I was irritated by one of the cops, but it didn‘t ruin the book for me.

This reads like a bad Lifetime movie. The only thing I enjoyed about this book is the in depth description of the Deaf community. Other than that, this is a pass.

I believe it was @veritysalter that led me to finding this book on Netgalley. Im only at the start of Chapter Four and I am so into it. I can relate to the terror of these parents, not knowing someones in the house killing their kid. Double checking all the locks tonight? Yes, yes I am.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ A unique approach to a crime thriller. A murder in your home, but you don't know, you can't hear them, you are deaf. We follow Paige the British Sign Language interpreter as she becomes ever increasing involved with the fractured family at the centre of this tragedy.
