Who Will Survive?

When author Jennifer Chase contacted me about reading her latest book Silent Partner I was delighted. I'm a fan of this genre and always enjoy sinking my teeth into a good crime thriller.




When Megan O'Connell was just a child, she and her sister Teresa witnessed her father brutally murder their mother in their own home. Since then the girls were raised by their grandparents.


Now Megan suffers from agoraphobia and is barely able to leave her home. When her sister Teresa is brutally murdered in their shared home, Megan is a suspect.



Officer Jack Davis works for the Monterey County Police Dept in California.
His partner is a police canine named Keno.



Jack and Megan are childhood friends and ex-lovers reunited once again due to the tragic events in Megan's life. When Jack sees Megan again after five years of separation, he realizes he still has feelings for her. He doesn't want to leave her side and hopes to help her through this difficult time in her life.



Darrell Brooks is a psycho killer who has been evading the police for some time. This sick man has his own motives for going after Megan.

When events take a turn for the worse, Megan begins to question her own sanity.



With plot twists and turns, interesting characters and a surprise ending, Silent Partner made for a great read. The ending gave me chills.


I liked Jack's character the most. He is your classic 'good guy'.

I enjoyed the role the dogs played in the story. I hadn't expected dogs to be an important part of the book, it was a nice surprise.
You really get to see how these officers had a strong connection to their dogs.



All in all, Silent Partner is a face paced thriller, I read it in one sitting. I really had to know what was going to happen next.



Special thanks to author Jennifer Chase.
