When a murder rocks the isolated community of Entry Island, insomniac homicide detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at St. Hubert airfield bound for the small, scattered chain of Madeline Islands, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as part of an eight-officer investigation team from Montréal. Only two kilometers wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of just more than 100 inhabitants, the wealthiest of whom has just been discovered murdered in his home.

Gunmen are terrorising young women in the Cathedral town of Lafferton. What - if anything - links the apparently random murders? Is the marksman with a rifle the same person as the killer with a handgun? Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler falls back on well tried police methods such as questioning neighbours and house-to-house searches.

Still love Susan Hill's books!
Revisado: 03-18-13
If you could sum up The Vows of Silence in three words, what would they be?
Real surprise ending.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Cat is my favorite, even though I like Simon, even with his flaws.
Have you listened to any of Steven Pacey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Only hear him on Hill's books.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I really, really am put out with the fact that Hill kills off characters that we have come to know and care about. If I wanted doom and gloom, I'd read True Crime novels.
Any additional comments?
Even with the comment above, I still come back for more of Susan Hill's books!

When their grandmother dies, Grace and Andrew Easton inherit her sprawling, book-filled London home, Dinmont House. Rather than sell it, the adult siblings move in together, splitting the numerous bedrooms and studies. The arrangement is unusual, but ideal for the affectionate pair - until the day Andrew brings home a new boyfriend. A devilishly handsome novelist, James Derain resembles Cary Grant, but his strident comments about Grace’s doctoral thesis soon puncture the house’s idyllic atmosphere. When he and Andrew witness their friend’s murder outside a London nightclub, James begins to unravel.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler, first introduced in The Various Haunts of Men, is on a painting holiday in Venice when he is summoned home by a telephone call. He has family problems to face, and the stress and grind of running a busy police station. When a little boy is snatched as he stands with his satchel at the gate of his home, waiting for his lift to school, an ordinary community realises that terror and evil are in their very midst.

Love Susan Hill's Serrailler books!
Revisado: 01-16-13
Would you listen to The Pure in Heart again? Why?
Probably not; I don't reread books (or listen to them twice).
What other book might you compare The Pure in Heart to and why?
Anything by Ruth Rendell. They are just a cut above most of the quickly hammered out books.
What does Steven Pacey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He reads beautifully and the subtle difference in voices of characters is masterful.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Can't say without ruining the story for others.

From three-time Edgar Award-winning mystery writer Ruth Rendell comes a captivating tale of residents and servants on one block of a posh London street - and the deadly ways their lives intertwine. Life in the well-manicured London locale of Hexam Place is not as placid and orderly as it appears. Behind the tranquil gardens and polished entryways, relationships between servants and their employers are set to combust. Henry, the handsome valet to Lord Studley, is sleeping with both the Lord's wife and his university-age daughter.

Latest great book from an always-wonderful writer.
Revisado: 10-10-12
If you could sum up The St. Zita Society in three words, what would they be?
Twists of fate.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The St. Zita Society?
Rad's last visit to Lucy.
Which scene was your favorite?
June's triumph.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Shock at some of the twists.
Any additional comments?
Felt as though the end could have used more detail to what happened to the characters. I think I can figure out what came next but I tend to like the author to spell it out a bit more for me so I can be sure my thoughts are the same as hers.

No outsiders are ever admitted to the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, hidden deep in the wilderness of Quebec, where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. They grow vegetables, they tend chickens, they make chocolate. And they sing. Ironically, for a community that has taken a vow of silence, the monks have become world-famous for their glorious voices, raised in ancient chants whose effect on both singer and listener is so profound it is known as “the beautiful mystery.”
