Break Her Silence: A Gripping Serial Killer Thriller (FBI Agent Merit Reid Crime Thrillers Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Kate Tristan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 295 ratings
Six human skulls in a secret room. A long-dormant serial killer flushed out of hiding. New victims being taken all over the state.

On the Cleveland waterfront, rookie FBI Agent Merit Reid is ready to prove herself among the seasoned agents on her squad. When a macabre trophy room is uncovered in the basement of a historic home in the affluent Merriman Valley, Merit gets her first taste of action.

Teaming up with her boss and reluctant mentor, Sean Everett, they’re hard at work identifying the victims from cold cases and missing persons – until a fresh body turns up. Two hours away, a decapitated woman in a vintage 1950s dress is discovered in the back yard of an abandoned home, head nowhere to be found, a note pinned to the body.

"Six was only the beginning. I can't stop until I find her."

Break Her Silence is a gripping crime thriller overflowing with secrets, lies and a serial killer whose depravity you won’t be able to look away from. Fans of Bree Taggert, Temperance Brennan and Violet Darger will adore Merit Reid.

    I don't typically write reviews but this book was one that I could not put down. Good thing weather was bad outside so I didn't feel too non-productive. Fast paced and likeable characters. A must read!

    Break Her Silence is a great start to a new series! It has everything you could want in a murder mystery thriller, and sets up another mystery to be continued at a later date.

    While Break Her Silence has a prequel novella (found on the author’s website) that explains the main characters’ backstories, it doesn’t have to be read for you to understand and enjoy this book.

    I loved this book and can’t wait to see what crime(s) the characters solve next!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024
    I like a good mystery, crime who done it page turners. This wasn't a page turner for me. It was actually a tad predictable -
    It kinda felt like they were taking bits and pieces of 'other' crime stories or dramas and incorporating into this story .... I found a few too many similarities; I won't be reading another ring this series -
