This is the first book I read of the series as hadn’t had a chance to the the first instalment and it didn’t disappoint. I loved it was about a group of students whom are deaf and have gone away! I liked all the nods and ticks to BSL too. The mystery is surrounding the teacher whom has been murdered.
Overall a good read .

DNF. I absolutely love that this book is centered around characters who are deaf, and that their disability is not used as a plot device. I’m not sure if the author identifies as D/deaf or hard of hearing, but she also teaches in the Deaf community and communicates with them using BSL, so I trust that her representation is informed and respectful. The reason why I didn’t finish it is that I didn’t realize this was part of a series, and as I continued to read I felt like I was missing out on quite a bit of backstory that must have occurred in the first book. I haven’t decided yet if I will go back to the beginning and read the first book, just because the plot seems like it would be a little too much for me.

This was good! I had no clue who the killer was! I thought I knew a few times but boy was I wrong!! Did i mention this was a good book?

Wow, the author did it again, another amazing novel based on Paige Northwood, a sign language interpreter. Her first book, The Silent House was intriguing and taught me a lot that I didn't know about the life of a deaf person.

Silent Night is just as intriguing with lots of suspense. When a teenager goes missing on an outing from the School for the deaf, Paige is called in to translate for the police. She is inquisitive and can"t stop herself from investigating on her own. Her sister attended the same school so Anna is a great source of information for Paige, plus she knows the past Head of the school. We are introduced to characters that were mentioned in passing in the first book that help to explain Paige's personality and actions. The characters in this book are nicely developed with just enough left off of the description to keep you wondering about things they say and do.

There are a lot of situations in the book that left me feeling really creeped out and glad I wasn't reading this book while alone. The author does a wonderful job of creating characters and locations that keep you on edge. A great "whodunnit" that will keep you guessing until the very end. A true psychological thriller. You can read this book without reading the first one but you will be missing out on a great book if you don't read The Silent House also.

Thank you to NetGallery and Avon Books for the opportunity to read the ARC of this wonderful book.

I loved this book. Nell’s first book was great. I can see that she is going to grow with each one. I found it very interesting that it was set in the deaf Community. It was full of mystery and twists around every corner. Nell Pattison is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

Winter trip in the country for deaf students ends with missing student. Teacher who had tried to find him is dead. Sign language interpreter Paige Northwood helps the police and becomes really involved in the case. Many motives and alibis, so who is the murderer?

Perfect thriller for snowy winter evenings.

A very well written follow up to the first book. With a limited number of suspects, it has a Christie like atmosphere. There were more pages devoted to Paige's back story but no conclusion maybe in future books.A good book. Recommended for its different background.

Thank You NetGalley/Publisher & Author for this gifted e-ARC!

Review---
This was such a fast thriller that had me hooked from get-go!
I stayed up all night to finish this book. And let me say it was worth that sleepless night!

The writing in this book was beyond fabulous.
This was a hell of a thriller, I promise you wont regret reading this.
I was so happy when NetGalley approved me for this read! Because I'v been dying to get my hands on this one and I can't thank y'all enough!

Rating--- 4/5

Firstly I will say I found some bits hard to follow and get my head around but I did thoroughly enjoy this book. I love a good mystery and this certainly keeps your attention.

The story begins when five deaf students go for an overnight trip to the snowy woods. They all go to sleep but in the morning one bed is cold and empty. A 15 years old Leon is missing and his teacher's body is found in the woods along with the weapon used for the murder.

Snowy woods are perfect scenery for a thriller. Continuous snowfall makes it harder to conduct a search for the missing boy.

The police reach out for help to Paige Northwood, sign language interpreter. She get's involved in the investigation, determined to find vulnerable teenager. A then the killer strikes again.

Wow! I can't fault Nell's book. It's gripping and blood chilling right from the start. Many books have a really slow start. ''Silent Night'' keeps you on your toes right from the beginning. So many twists and turns it makes you dizzy. I absolutely loved it. I'm usually quite good with guessing the ending but I was really surprised. Even though I had few suspects on my list I was constantly changing my mind.

I haven't read such a disquieting story in a long, long time. It made me bit my nails way to short ( bad habit of mine). I can't praise “Silent Night” enough! I'm definitely going to check out “The Silent House” which is the first book featuring the interpreter, Paige Northwood.

Unfortunately this is a book I did not finish. I will not be providing a negative review, this book just wasn’t for me.

Paige Northwood has been called in to assist the police again when the headteacher of the local school for deaf children has been murdered on a school trip. One of the pupils has gone missing and would seem to be the culprit.

When the case opens up old wounds for Paige she is going to need personal support to be able to cope with the pressures.

This was a brilliant follow up to The Silent House and I have enjoyed the character development throughout. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

The twists kept my attention, though I found some of it a bit confusing to follow at times with all the various set-ups and lies.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved Pattison's first novel, The Silent House so I was reading this with much expectations. I must say that it was really good but wasn't as sinister as the first one.
I loved the characters of Cassie, Paige, Max, Mike, Steve. Others were good except Jessica, for me she was ok ok.
Story is told from two POV's, one of Paige and another untitled one. Both versions were good.
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

Five teenagers from a school for the deaf go on a camping trip in the woods in winter, but one in the morning, one of them is missing and their teacher is dead. Paige Northwood is an interpreter for the deaf and is brought in to translate for the students to try to find out what happened. It turns out that their are plenty of people with motives for murder and Paige is worried that time may be running out for the missing student.

This book has strong Picnic at hanging rock vibes. An overnight trip for a group of deaf teenagers. 4 wake up and one disappears. Something sinister is clearly afoot....I highly recommend this engrossing thriller.

Very well crafted police procedural- with an engaging look inside the Deaf community. I always like it when I learn something new from my pleasure reading. Would love to see more from this author.
