In a previous review of this authors work I said I would gladly read more of his work. I am really glad that I followed my own advice as this is an excellent thriller. Set between London and Croatia the story follows a wife’s adventures in trying to understand her husbands violent death that has been classed as suicide. Secrets from his life are uncovered and attempts are made to silence her. The book is well written and kept me reading late into the night.

You will be taken on a ride with this thriller of a read. It will keep your attention and at times make you anxious for what could happen next. This author is one I will definitely be reading again and recommending to others.

Maggie and Will are happily married. Maggie is a doctor working in ER. Will used to be a forensic pathologist but left medicine abruptly for a different career path. Maggie is at work when her husband is brough in with a gunshot wound and pronounced dead. The police call it suicide but as events unfold Maggie has ample reason to think otherwise. A suspenseful story with elements of crime, murder and political intrigue. I loved the original storyline and the way the plot unfolds. I must say that at some points the story felt a bit contrived but overall an easy thrilling ride.

Thank you Netgalley and Raven Street Publishing for the ARC.

Kind of an odd book but a very good story! Maggie was a great main character and was well written. I enjoyed the part set in Croatia and how Will prepared for the possibility of his death and how it all unfolded. My only regret is that we never found out the conversation between Will’s mom and the person who visited her after Maggie got back home. I’d bet that was an interesting conversation!

Fantastic stand alone from Bryndza...fast paced and excellently written....unputdownable!!! Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC!!

Loved this. Bryndza always brings his characters to life and makes the whole thing believable. My only criticism is how long we have to wait for the next book.

Exciting stand alone thriller from an author who really knows his stuff. The seemingly clear case of suicide of her husband sees trauma doctor Maggie suddenly embroiled in a dark conspiracy. The action moves from London to Croatia with another death then across Europe to France and back to England. The pace never lets up with a clever ending to die for! Good fun!

In “Fear The Silence” by Robert Bryndza we are thrown into the life of Maggie, whose husband is shot dead in their London home. When the police tell her that it was a suicide she knows she knows they are wrong and goes on a mission to prove that he was murdered. Only there is someone out there that does not want the truth to come out and goes to extreme lengths to make sure it doesn’t.

Love the description of the plot: Three can keep a secret... If two of them are dead.

I received an ARC of this book, but this is my honest review.

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

This book really held my attention and kept me captivated the whole time! The characters were well developed and the descriptions made me feel like I was right there (especially in Croatia)! The only thing I felt like the story was missing was a little bit more or the main characters pasts, especially 6-7 years prior. I would totally recommend to anyone who likes thrillers and mysteries!

Loved everything about this book, I’m a big fan of this series. Definitely didn’t disappoint, it was fast paced, full of emotion and kept me guessing. I sat up all night reading because I couldn’t put it down. I do hope there is another book coming as it’s one of my favourites. I would definitely gift this book to friends and family. A bloody good read and highly deserves five stars.

Would highly recommend this book, it is a must read , loved it from start to finish. Have read other books by this author and they just get better and better , so many twists and turns and brilliant characters you just can’t put the books down , right to the end you are surprised, just loved this book

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Robert Bryndza and so any new book by him is a 'must read' for me, and this, his first stand alone thriller did not disappoint The story begins with Maggie, an trauma surgeon on duty when a gunshot victim is brought into A&E where, to her horror, she realises it is her husband Will. The police believe that he has attempted to take his own life (Sadly Will does not survive).
From this shocking start the story takes the reader to the island of Tisina in Croatia. Maggie and Will own a holiday home there and it is to this home that Maggie retreats after Wills funeral. She hope to be able to recover from the shock of his death but instead finds a letter from Will which contains clues as to what may have led to his death.
The underlying atmosphere of this tale is one of mystery and unease and as the story unfolds it becomes clear that Maggie's gut instinct that Will was murdered seem to be not so far fetched and as the list of likely suspects grows longer the tension in the story racks up several notches leaving the reader unsure who can be trusted, as Maggie tries to follow the snippets of clues left by Will in his letter.
Once again Roberts writing does not disappoint and had me hooked from the start and throughout as the tension and questions never let up in this tale until the final pages.
Another great read from Robert.

*3 Stars*

What in the actual hell did I just read? I normally really love Bryndza books, I'm a big fan of the Erika Foster series - this this one was all over the shop in comparison. Things start out well, and then go weird when Maggie gets to Croatia. This was like an over the top Hollywood movie - I had no idea why things were so outrageous, but I was invested enough to continue reading and find out the truth behind everything going on.

The book definitely kept me hooked, but its certainly not the best work by the author (in my opinion anyways). I look forward to going back to the Erika Foster series and it's more normal storylines in the future lol.

A brilliant thriller I could not put down.
Fast paced, suspense filled, a read full of tension and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you will literally be holding your breathe towards the end.

Maggie is used to dealing with medical emergencies, working in a busy London hospital, dealing daily with stabbings and shootings. But then, one night, the victim brought in is her husband, Will. Her life falls apart in a few frantic minutes. She instantly assumes a burglary gone wrong but is soon told he committed suicide with a gun she didn't even know he owned.

Reeling from her loss, she retreats to their holiday home on a secluded Croatian island. But then she receives a letter from Will that reveals a deadly secret.

This is Robert Bryndzas first standalone thriller and whilst very enjoyable (as always). I didn't feel it played to his ultimate talent, which is, for me, how good he is at character building. Whether it's Erika, Coco, or Kate, he gradually brings characters to life. It's like meeting someone in real life. You learn about them gradually. So, with this book, I felt like I never really understood Maggie or any of her frankly questionable decision-making. But it's Robert Bryndza, so the writing and plot building more than make up for not really caring very much about the characters.

this was an amazing thriller will not disappoint and keep you breathless till the end
fast paced with tons of twist and turns Maggie a trauma doctor is married to will a property designer but use to be a forensic pathologist was taken into the er with a gun shot to the head apparent suicide after the funeral she got to get somer items from their nation home when she receives a letter from will in the event of his death which makes Maggie look into the past few years of wills life

really enjoyable book

Thanks to netgalley for providing an advanced copy for the purpose of review.

I have read the authors previous works so was expecting this to be very good. It lived up to expectations and I found it to be a tense and suspenseful read .

Suspense at its best that keeps you guessing to the last page.
Many thanks to Raven Street Publishing and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

FEAR THE SILENCE is his first stand-alone thriller by international multi-million bestselling author, Robert Bryndza, the author of crime and thriller debut “The Girl in the Ice “. Having loved his Detective Erika Foster Series and his Kate Marshall Series, I was anxious to read his latest stand-alone thriller.

This is my review of Fear The Silence.

Maggie Kendall is an experienced trauma surgeon and works out of a London hospital. Her husband, Will, was a forensic pathologist that left medicine six years ago to be a property developer. Hey have been married for twenty-four years and no children.

When Maggie leaves for her evening shift at the hospital, she leaves Will and Luna, the cat watching TV. But then Will, is brought in with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

When Maggie’s husband, Will, is shot dead in their London home, she thinks he is the victim of a burglary until the police tell her the shocking news that Will was the one who pulled the trigger. The police believe that this was a suicide.

How was this possible? Will had been happy and wasn’t suicidal and had so much to live for. Maggie was consumed with grief and questions.

After the funeral, Maggie travels to their holiday home on a small Croatian island to escape London. She finds a disturbing letter written by Will, containing clues to a dark secret.

And then her life was in danger.

Maggie soon discovers that Will’s death is connected to someone from his past… and keep Maggie silent.

This novel will keep you hooked until the very last page.

This is a well-developed book, from the clever title and from cover, to the ending. Characters come alive as you read each small detail unfolding. While not all this story felt plausible, I felt the strength of this novel was the vivid imagery of the Croatian island, which added depth to the scene.

Many thanks to the author, Raven Street Publishing and NetGalley for my digital copy.

Serious can't put this down factors present. This story was a great ride with great characters and plenty of action. I could absolutely see this as a movie! Mystery, action, intrigue, and tension.
