Remain Silent
Remain Silent: A Manon Bradshaw Novel | Susie Steiner
8 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
An immigrant's mysterious death sets off a chilling hunt for the truth--a gripping crime novel from the author of Missing, Presumed, featuring a "delightful protagonist who deserves a place alongside other beloved literary detectives."* *Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Newly married and navigating life with a toddler as well as her adopted adolescent son, Manon Bradshaw is happy to be working part-time in the cold cases department of the Cambridgeshire police force, a job which allows her to "potter in, coffee in hand and log on for a spot of internet shopping--precisely what she had in mind when she thought of work-life balance." But beneath the surface Manon is struggling with the day-to-day realities of what she assumed would be domestic bliss: fights about whose turn it is to clean the kitchen, the bewildering fatigue of having a young child in her forties, and the fact that she is going to couple's counseling alone because her husband feels it would just be her complaining. But when Manon is on a walk with her two-year-old son in a peaceful suburban neighborhood and discovers the body of a Lithuanian immigrant hanging from a tree with a mysterious note attached, she knows her life is about to change. Suddenly, she is back on the job, full-force, trying to solve the suicide--or is it a murder--in what may be the most dangerous and demanding case of her life.

Book 3 of the Manon Bradshaw series
Manon investigates slave labor in the UK. I love her foibles , her quirks and her intensity. This is a great series

The suspicious death of a Lithuanian man leads to the unveiling of what is essentially modern day slavery (this is not a spoiler—the reader learns about it early on). There is much discussion of immigration politics and bigotry here. I don‘t read many police procedurals, but I really like this series.

Thanks to #netgalley and #randomhousepublishing for the opportunity to read and review this book #RemainSilent by @SusieSteiner
Pub date June2,2020
Book 3 of the Manon Bradshaw series did not disappoint. I love that the author shows Manon with all her foibles, and her character flaws. Manon is just like all of us, with the running commentary in her head. The plot of the book revolves around a suicide of a refugee who is part of the labor ⤵️

Crazeedi imported to do the backbreaking work others wont do. It is tragic to read that people are used as slave labor in this time. The side plots of Manon and her friends lives adds so much to this book.i highly recommend 4y
Crazeedi Side note, the author was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma as she was writing this. She is in remission after brain surgery at this time. What courage❤ 4y
Freespirit Wow amazing..how brave 4y
Crazeedi @Freespirit yes, she wrote a bit about it at the end of the book 4y

This is the third book the Manon Bradshaw Detective series. These stories focus more on the procedural side of things, but after spending time with Manon, you will get to the know her personal side and to me that is the best part of the story.
