I started to read "Don't Make a Sound" this morning whilst waiting at home for a delivery, and was so engrossed that I barely put the book down until I had finished it in the early evening. It's been a long time since I read a book in one sitting, and what a brilliant read it is.

This is an excellent, gripping, page-turner of a book. It's very well written and imaginative but, despite the serious content, it's not all doom and gloom. I enjoyed the light-hearted banter between the investigating officers, which made me chuckle out loud on a couple of occasions, which was an excellent contrast to the intense story line.

This is more of a "whydunit" than a "whodunit." We know who took the girls right from the start, but it isn't until the final couple of pages that the why is revealed, and what a big surprise that was. I didn't see it coming at all.

This is the first novel I have read by David Jackson, and I don't think that it mattered that this is the third book in this series. I hope the first two are as enjoyable, as I will definitely be reading them now.
