Loved getting another piece of Paige's story in Silent Night. I enjoyed this book a little more than the first. The crime was a little more detailed and left me guessing till the very end. I 100% thought it was Mike, and I hate him even more after learning who he was as a person. Loved the development of Paige's character and getting to learn more of what she went through. I sometimes found myself struggling with her characters decisions in the first book, but didn't have that issue with this story.

From start to finish I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and kept me interested throughout. It was a who done it type storyline that had me changing my mind who it was after each chapter.
The only downside for me was that I hadn’t read the first book by this author as I didn’t know about it. This book did however fill you in on parts of book 1 so that you didn’t feel like you had missed out too much.
I will look forward to reading more by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for kindly providing me with a digital copy of this book for review.
The premise of this book is what really grabbed me- I don’t think I’ve ever read a mystery or thriller set in a deaf school before. That might be because I don’t read an enormous amounts of thrillers, but I do read a lot of mysteries and the idea did still seem original and interesting.
The reason I don’t read all that many thrillers is because I don’t like too much gruesome graphic details, or the psychological thriller that can really make me too uncomfortable to enjoy the book at all. But this book is more on the mystery of things I would modestly say. There’s nothing that is going to scare you or make you fear the dark. There is just a really good mystery that is going to keep you guessing. The dual perspective moments are also really interesting and help keep the pace moving forward.
I did enjoy this book quite a bit and I’m suitably interested enough to want to carry on with the series.

Great second book in the series. Perfect if you are looking for a seasonal thriller which is gripping and twisty.

WOW. This book held my interest from beginning to end. I never knew where the turn of the page would take me.

This was a really well written and engaging thriller.

What makes this thriller stand out is the fact it focuses on the deaf community and an interpreter being the main character. I've never read a thriller with such good physical disability representation.

I thought this thriller was really well written. It was well paced and engaging.

I was trying to guess the ending as the book went along but I definitely did not see it coming.

The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it focused a lot on the relationship of the main character which wasn't all that interesting.

However, the rest of the book was very good and I loved the setting. The snow made it very claustrophobic and atmospheric.

I highly recommend this thriller and I'll definitely be checking out their other books

TW: domestic abuse, suicide, murder, violence and pedophilia/child abuse references

A great page turner and thriller.

I enjoyed the switch between the missing boy and the other characters - a great read.

I read the first book in this series and enjoyed the perspective of writing, loved how different it was to other perspectives of thrillers that I’ve read and felt it was a really great way to see into the world without it being forced on me and without me understanding it fully. It was also good to not be following a detective per se or a housewife. I enjoyed that. But the plot is a little predictable and for veteran thriller readers this might be too tame and too by the book for them.

I went into this book with high expectations. I had not read the first book in the series but had heard great things about it. I was not disappointed!

Silent Night follows Paige, who interprets for the police in situations involving people who are deaf. A boy from a school for the deaf goes missing during a school trip. One of the teachers goes to look for him and is found nearby, murdered.

I have never before read a book that has involved the perspective of the deaf community, this was so incredibly unique and I absolutely loved it. The passages where characters communicated through sign-language were so vivid in my mind. I think it actually helped me to picture the scene.

Paige has an emotive and harrowing background. I am not sure if reading the first book would add any extra details. But it is entirely possible to read Silent Night as a stand alone novel. Pattison's writing draws you in and gives you all the information you need to be able to follow what is going on. That being said I will be hunting down a copy of the first book ASAP, because I loved this one so much! I will also definitely be following this series from now on to see what happens to Paige.

Thrillers are my favourite genre of book, but often I can figure out where the storyline is going very quickly. That did not happen with this novel. I was completely blindsided by the plot twists, which kept me on the edge of my seat.

I want to thank netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read a copy of this book so that I can leave an honest review. I would recommend this series to any thriller fan, especially someone who is looking for something unique!

This is the second book in this series. I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first one as there was a lot more story to it. I like the fact that it’s a police procedural but with the unusual twist of it being told by a BSL interpreter makes it very different to other police procedurals. My only criticism is that in some parts the main character Paige, becomes a little bit ‘Miss Marple’ for me, going off investigating on her own trying to solve the case and often coming up with ideas and information before the police !

This is the first book I read from the author, and I loved it. The story is centered around the deaf community, with an interpreter joining the police to investigate the murder of the headteacher and the missing of one of the students.

I enjoyed the storyline and characters. For me, the story is quite fast-paced and kept me guessing till the end. The ending is surprising. I haven't seen the plot twist is coming like that.

I’m looking forward to reading other books from this author in the future. Overall, this was a good read for me. Thank you, Netgalley, for providing me the eARC in return with an honest review.

Thanks to Avon books & Netgalley for gifting me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review! This is the second mystery novel in the Paige Northwood series. I haven’t read the first book but didn’t have any trouble reading this as a stand alone. The story starts off with a bang once the body of a teacher for the deaf children is discovered in the snow. At the same time a resident student of the same school goes missing and our main character, Paige, is called in by the police to serve as interpreter. What follows is a full investigation of what could have happened that fateful night. While each student and member of staff is interrogated, multiple times, we learn a little more about Paige’s backstory and personal life. I felt the story moved forward rather slowly switching from the night of the murder to the present day and after a while I confess I kind of lost interest. We soon discover that nobody is telling the truth and the reason for them lying just didn’t convince me! I felt many things weren’t relevant to the story and certain behavior just didn’t seem realistic. I’m sorry to say it just wasn’t for me...

This was a great read. I love the story of the characters, I loved the sinister nature to the plot, and I loved that it was not totally predictable

Silent Night is a fast-paced story full of twists and turns. The author does a great job of educating the reader on what it is like for a deaf person to communicate. I enjoyed the characters and was kept guessing until the end. This is a well written story centered around a deaf community, using an interpreter to unwind a lot of mystery.

A murder based at a residential school for deaf children is the setting for this story. I chose to read the first book in the series first. But I think the book works also as a stand alone.
There are many twists and turns and I did not at any stage suspect the culprit.
As a side story there is a domestic violence issue too. Both stories kept my attention.
I have already pre ordered the next book in this series!

A dead teacher and a missing 15-year-old who was a student of the deaf school, Paige was called to interpret the sign language by the police. This was my second book by this author and I got the opportunity to listen to the audiobook too.
Secrets were enmeshed with the statements given by all the characters and it was up to Paige to decipher the silent language spoken. Murder mystery in a storm had intrigue and suspense and I liked how the author gave Paige and me just enough to understand some parts of the lives of the characters.
Overall, a good read/listen which kept me engrossed barring the part read by one of the narrators.

really good book- page turning!5* the twists that develop are amazing, i couldnt imagine what was going to happen next!

I had no idea this was the second in the series, but it could be read as a standalone, then I realised when I'd finished that I already have the first book 🤦‍♀️

This was fantastic, it was fast paced from the beginning to the end. And right till the last chapter I still had no clue as to who the killer was.

A teacher is dead & a child is missing, what happened whilst they were sleeping?

Thankyou to Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review.

Paige Northwood, works as a freelance sign language interpreter. Having learned to sign as a child in order to communicate with her deaf family, Paige loves her work, but when she finds herself interpreting for the police, in the investigation of a missing deaf boy, and a murdered head teacher, she finds herself buried in a silent web of lies, deception and deceit so deep, she isn't sure they can ever get to the bottom of it. But with a child's life at stake, and the potential for more children to be harmed, Paige knows that the truth must be pulled from the silence.
This is a gripping read, with an interesting take on your typical crime/mystery/thriller book. Paige is an engaging and intriguing character who is easy to like, and relate to. She cares deeply and try's not to jump to conclusions. Their are a lot of different characters in this book though and that sometimes made it hard for me to keep track and I often muddled them up. Although with my Crohn's disease turning my brain to mush, it's not that hard for me to get muddled.

There was some clever misdirection in play with this book, which meant I was pretty much left guessing till the very end. Which is always a good thing in these types of book.

And despite my struggled to keep the characters all straight in my head, I did really enjoy this one, and am very grateful to NetGalley, Nell Pattison and her publisher, for allowing me to read a copy of this great book, for free in return for and honest review. It has been an absolute pleasure.

Good read, kept me guessing who was responsible and why. Likable characters and a surprising ending. Will definitely pick up the next book in the series.
