Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo is a very compelling thriller. It is the first book I've read by the author and it will not be my last. I cannot get enough of her style of writing. She lets a lot of details come out, ones that you are looking for but are afraid to find.
I'm new to thrillers and I anticipated this novel to be a good read. It is far from "good" and that's a good thing. It's one of the best yet.
Not only is it about murder but it's about having a will to live. That not only do we have a reason to do so, it's best to have no other choice. I was told that it was to be an extremely gory book, but I found it to be somewhat mild. It's no different than CSI or Bones gore. Yes, the details let your mind wander a little more. They might be strong if you aren't used to reading books like this, but the storyline is captivating. The reveal is such a surprise.
If you're open minded to the many genres of books, then give this one a try. You won't go wrong.
I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
