About this listen

Some secrets fight to stay hidden.

When a newlywed woman vanishes in an alligator-infested swamp, vigilante assassin Silence Jones knows someone needs to be eliminated - he just can’t determine who that person is.

He soon discovers that the missing bride had been investigating a shadowy group, one whose power has gone unchallenged for decades. As Silence scrambles to piece together the fragments of the woman’s unfinished work, he unearths a scheme more twisted than he could have possibly imagined.

To figure out who needs a bullet between the eyes, Silence must root out a dark subculture that has infected a city for years - and take on a villain who’s willing to destroy countless lives to cover his tracks.

The next stand-alone action thriller in the pulse-pounding new series. Enter the world of Silence Jones. Hold on tight....

If you like action heroes with the steely resolve of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, the calculating will of Gregg Hurwitz’s Orphan X, and the raw power of Mark Greaney’s Gray Man, then you’ll love Silence Jones.

Vulnerability Wins

Another banger!! Absolutely love Silence Jones as a character and watching his development. I am usually very unhappy when my protagonist is shown to be vulnerable and not immune to harm or making mistakes, but this story made Silence even more easy to relate to.

Silence was shown to still be haunted by his (recent) past from the loss of the love of his life and relating to one of the other characters in the book. I'm looking even more towards the next novel. Gary's narration keeps things moving with even relatable tones and that itself keeps you from disengaging from any portions of the book that might be a bit "slower".

Keep up the good work.

Silence can and does kill

Silence Jones’ new mission is to find the person responsible for the disappearance and eventual murder of a new bride. The woman had a point to prove and did so by investigating a deeply dark group. However, like most things that Jones becomes embroiled in, nothing is cut and dry. Jones finds himself neck-deep in deception, murder, and more.

The author, Erik Carter has created a vigilante assassin character that everyone should hate, but one cannot help but admire and at times feel a little sympathy towards. The life of Silence is rich in adventure and action, misdirection, intrigue, and secret groups. The touch of detail about Silence’s voice adds to his character’s depth. Carter weaves a story around this character showing his flaws, strengths, and struggles. Carter artfully inserts a few plot twists along the way until the end.

The narrator, Gary Bennett gives a strong performance endearing listeners to Silence’s deep and gravelly voice. When one must perform a character who says one-to-two-word sentences, it takes skill to project all emotion into them to have the strongest and most meaningful impact. Bennett’s voice is smooth when needed and he provides unique voices to all. Bennett is definitely versatile.

This is a series that will keep you coming back for more. An easy listen that draws you in and keeps you there until the last word is spoken.

Once again, this author and narrator receive the Audiobook Reviewer’s Choice Award. This award is given only to those books that deserve higher than the standard five-star ranking system.

The production and quality of this audiobook were perfect. I encountered no issues; it was clear and crisp.

A Nail Biter!

What an enjoyable second book! This is a great suspenseful tale which did not turn out like I thought it would. I love it when that happens! I enjoyed meeting all the characters. They were well done and lively.

This is my second book by this author for me and they just keep getting better. I did listen to this on audio. Gary Bennett does an excellent job narrating. His gruff voice of Silence reminds me of Clint Eastwood’s voice.

plenty of twists and turns

Silence Jones is a man of few words, thanks to an injury that makes speech painful, but that doesn’t stop him from seeking justice. Carter hooked me from the start as a young woman flees into the alligator infested swamps as danger follows her.

Jones is asked to take on the case by the woman’s husband. He needs answers. He believes she is dead, but her father isn’t willing to pursue it. It’s a complicated case, as Jones soon discovers. Amber is the daughter of a retired and powerful/crooked cop. Silence learned she was investigating a criminal group that runs the city.

Twist, turns, confessions and Jones’ signature investigative skills made for an interesting case that held me captive. Silence finds himself in danger, but fearless and ruthlessly roots out the culprits.

I loved the side threads of Jones’ life, like his neighbor and the cat. Even though he is an anti-hero and works outside of the law, Silence has his own rules and you can’t help but appreciate him. I have a feeling if we shared coffee, he’d sit there silently while I confessed all my darkest secrets.

Fans of suspenseful thrillers will love this series. I recommend listening to the audiobooks. Gary Bennett has captured Silence Jones from his mannerisms to scratchy voice. We spend time in Silence’s head and Bennett brings him to life. His pacing and tone enhance this fast-paced, engaging thriller.

Great Fun

Well written, well paced, well structured, suspenseful, and action packed. A thoroughly satisfying installment of this outstanding series.

Despite the brevity of the novel and the significant action/suspense elements, Erik Carter finds time and tone to explore and humanize his characters and create vivid environments. It's not all break-neck speed, instead paced with quiet precision to make the entire listen a pleasure.

The book within the book was a clever touch.

Gary Bennett's narration hits the feel of the novel just right, as always.

Purchased Book 3 immediately upon finishing Book 2.

A Happy Surprise

I received this book free for an honest review and having participated in several freebies, I started listening with trepidation. I am a first time listener to both Erik Carter and narrator, Gary Bennett. Gary's narration was outstanding. He was easy to listen to and get lost in the story telling.

The book plot was engrossing and held interest all the way through. I won't go into the plot line since you can read that above, but I was on the edge of my seat in this book.

I didn't want to like Silence - but I did. So much so, in fact, I'm going to go buy book 1 and catch up on his story! He grows on you with his raspy voice and sense of honour.

Definitely listen to this book!!!!
