~*The Silent House by Nell Pattison*~
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon books for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
4 out of 5 stars
Paige Northwood grew up as the only hearing person in her family. After her parents died and she left college to take care of things it just made sense for her to become a British Sign Language Interpreter. After all she served as an interpreter for her family most of her life anyway. Shortly after she became self employed she is called very early in the morning by the police who need her services because a murder has taken place in a deaf house. When Paige arrives however she realizes that she has a closer connection to the family than she expected. Her sister Anna's best friend Laura's 18 month old daughter was murdered while she and her brother were staying with their Father.
At first Paige doesn't inform them of her connection because she wants the job but more importantly she feels like she needs to stay on the job so that she can be close and find out what exactly happened to sweet little Lexie. As Paige begins to investigate the case on her own she becomes a target of the killer.
Now to be fair I think the killer is pretty easy to figure out but the premise of this book makes it a 4 star book easily! When I met my husband he was studying to be an interpreter. Life kind of changed his career path but I have always been so interested in sigh language. That was one of the many things that really sucked me in!
