A very decent second book in the series.
Set once again in the deaf community,which gives it a unique point of view.
Some twists you see coming a mile away,some not till you're tripping over them.

Well she has done it again. I wasn’t expecting much because the first book was so good and boy I was proven wrong. I’m just so bloody glad I didn’t read this on my own. It will keep you guessing until the very end.

Another brilliant read from the author Nell, if you haven't read The Silent House you really should it is really good. This story centres around a school for the deaf, when a student goes missing and a teacher ends up dead, who was it? I love the way Nell brings the story to life, you can't just stop at one chapter, each chapter makes you want to read on to find out more, you suspect one person but is it really them? all the students are acting suspicious but do they really know what is going on? There are lots of questions I tried to answer and everyone made me highly suspicious that it was them but I didn't know what the outcome would be at all. I like how Paige's story is woven between the story,and the fact is apart from Nell's previous novel I have never read a book about deaf people, I think this should change. I look forward to the next book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it wasnt until the end that I realised this is the 2nd book in a series by Nell Pattison. The book was a crime storyline with lots of twists and turns which made the whole book very gripping. The book was great at providing a basic education on the Deaf community such as how deaf individuals communicate to one another and to hearing individuals. Having previously done some work experience at a Deaf school, I found the book very touching. I loved the way it was written and how it easily distinguished between sign language and spoken language. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone and will certainly be going back and reading the first Paige Northwood mystery The Silent House. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to review this book prior to publication!

This was an incredible book that was fast paced and gripping. I loved the premise and the chapters were the perfect length.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this E-book to review via Netgalley.

This second book in the series definitely improves on the first and makes me glad I gave this author another try. With the backstory (in part) our of the way, this one reads a much more solid murder mystery. The solution to the case isn't as obvious, the character development is much improved and the framework for additional books is well established. I still don't like the main character, for all the artful handling of the Own Voices/Deaf Community aspects, Paige is an unremarkable archetype of “pretty woman with a secretive past.” That said, the series as a whole is developing into a promising “gritty-cozy” series. If you are looking for a series with an interesting, and well researched, premise that is slightly darker than the standard cozy, this is a great pick.

I loved Nell Pattinsons book Silent House so i was so thrilled to read this! There is such a great tone to these books, it makes you reassured that you’re reading pattinsons books, that the atmosphere created is so tense and immersive that you dont want to stop reading. I loved this book for this reason, the feeling and atmosphere it creates.

The second book in a series involving the deaf community. Paige a deaf interpreter for the police is brought into this investigation by DS Singh. Out on a weekend trip snowed in at a cabin 5 deaf teenagers and 3 teachers. One teacher is found dead and one teenager missing. Paige finds one of the teacher’s is her ex. It did not end well. This will influence Paige’s perspective in this investigation. The teenager’s band together no one is talking. There is a sinister feeling back at the school and it’s not long before our murderer strikes again. Paige find she’s at the heart of this story she has some hard decisions to make. A good central character who nearly allows personal life to get in the way of the investigation. I was given an arc of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The second book in the Paige Northwood series, Silent Night is a chilling mystery which begins when students at a school for the deaf go on an overnight trip to the snowy woods with their teachers. By the time morning comes a teacher’s body is found in the woods and a student is missing. As police begin their investigation, sign language interpreter Paige Northwood is called in to assist them with their interrogations. But the case opens up old wounds for Paige while police race to discover just who the killer is - before they strike again.

Written by Nell Pattison, Silent Night is the second in the Paige Northwood series. Though you don't need to have read The Silent House to understand Silent Night, it is obviously recommended, and you're sure to want to go back and read it if you haven't already. What’s so great about The Paige Northwood series is that it gives a voice to the deaf community. Thanks to Pattison’s own experiences, readers are able to learn in addition to being thoroughly entertained.

Like the first book, Silent Night has all of the key features of a great thriller - it's unnerving and full of suspense with twists and turns throughout. From the very first page you’re sure to be gripped and won’t want to put the book down. There are moments and situations which genuinely put the reader on edge and it’s certainly recommended to read it with the lights on!

Despite the book featuring a lot of characters, they’re all well-round and developed, and as a consequence there are plenty of potential suspects, all with their own motives to kill, ensuring that this is a clever whodunnit. Meanwhile Paige herself is likeable but also has her flaws, resulting in a relatable and human main character, who’s easy to champion.

A compelling and fast-paced read, Silent Night is a unique and chilling thriller and impossible to put down.

A group of teenagers from the school for deaf children goes on an overnight trip into the snowy woods, but when they wake up the next morning, one of the children is missing, and their teacher is found dead.
Did the missing teenager kill his teacher, or is he on the run from the real killer?

I loved the first book in the series, and since I found out about this one, I couldn't wait for it to be available to request on NetGalley.
I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint me. However, it was one of those books that have me on the fence about the rating.
Firstly, I found it a bit slow to get going, but it turned out to be the kind of book that sucks you in invisibly. Towards the end, I was racing through it to find out who the killer was and even though at some point I guessed correctly, I was still in for a surprise about the motive.
Secondly, I found Paige irritating a few times, especially whenever she learnt things and deemed them to be unrelated to the investigation and therefore decided not to report them.
However, it was a unique, well-plotted book, full of twists and turns. I can't wait for the next one and I'm dying to see who Paige chooses.

Silent Night is the first book by Nell Pattison even though this is the 2nd book in the series. The main character is Paige Northwood, an interpreter for the deaf and brought in to translate during a murder investigation. Five teens from a school for the deaf go on an overnight camping trip in the woods. The next morning, one of the teens is missing, and the police also find a teacher dead.

Silent Night is a good police procedural. I liked the characters and their personalities. In addition to interpreting, Paige is also dealing with her ex-boyfriend, who is not a very nice person. It brings an added story element. The addition of the deaf community and using the BSL was interesting. The book was engaging and had a gripping mystery that had me guessing until the end.

I look forward to another book in this series by Nell Pattison.

This is an incredible book. A fast-paced, gripping thriller that isn’t predictable in any way. There are plenty of twists along the way, which keep the reader enthralled to the very end.

This is the first book I read of the series as hadn’t had a chance to the the first instalment and it didn’t disappoint. I loved it was about a group of students whom are deaf and have gone away! I liked all the nods and ticks to BSL too. The mystery is surrounding the teacher whom has been murdered.
Overall a good read .

DNF. I absolutely love that this book is centered around characters who are deaf, and that their disability is not used as a plot device. I’m not sure if the author identifies as D/deaf or hard of hearing, but she also teaches in the Deaf community and communicates with them using BSL, so I trust that her representation is informed and respectful. The reason why I didn’t finish it is that I didn’t realize this was part of a series, and as I continued to read I felt like I was missing out on quite a bit of backstory that must have occurred in the first book. I haven’t decided yet if I will go back to the beginning and read the first book, just because the plot seems like it would be a little too much for me.

This was good! I had no clue who the killer was! I thought I knew a few times but boy was I wrong!! Did i mention this was a good book?

Wow, the author did it again, another amazing novel based on Paige Northwood, a sign language interpreter. Her first book, The Silent House was intriguing and taught me a lot that I didn't know about the life of a deaf person.

Silent Night is just as intriguing with lots of suspense. When a teenager goes missing on an outing from the School for the deaf, Paige is called in to translate for the police. She is inquisitive and can"t stop herself from investigating on her own. Her sister attended the same school so Anna is a great source of information for Paige, plus she knows the past Head of the school. We are introduced to characters that were mentioned in passing in the first book that help to explain Paige's personality and actions. The characters in this book are nicely developed with just enough left off of the description to keep you wondering about things they say and do.

There are a lot of situations in the book that left me feeling really creeped out and glad I wasn't reading this book while alone. The author does a wonderful job of creating characters and locations that keep you on edge. A great "whodunnit" that will keep you guessing until the very end. A true psychological thriller. You can read this book without reading the first one but you will be missing out on a great book if you don't read The Silent House also.

Thank you to NetGallery and Avon Books for the opportunity to read the ARC of this wonderful book.

I loved this book. Nell’s first book was great. I can see that she is going to grow with each one. I found it very interesting that it was set in the deaf Community. It was full of mystery and twists around every corner. Nell Pattison is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

Winter trip in the country for deaf students ends with missing student. Teacher who had tried to find him is dead. Sign language interpreter Paige Northwood helps the police and becomes really involved in the case. Many motives and alibis, so who is the murderer?

Perfect thriller for snowy winter evenings.

A very well written follow up to the first book. With a limited number of suspects, it has a Christie like atmosphere. There were more pages devoted to Paige's back story but no conclusion maybe in future books.A good book. Recommended for its different background.

Thank You NetGalley/Publisher & Author for this gifted e-ARC!
