Political games can be deadly…
Elise Carmichael is a court sign language interpreter who reads lips all the time. As a widow with a young son who is deaf, lip reading is simply second nature, until the day she reads the lips of someone on the phone discussing an attempt to be made on a senator’s life—a senator who just happens to be her mother-in-law. Before she can decide what she needs to do, she receives the information that her son is rushed to the ER and she must leave. Then she later sees the news report that her mother-in-law has been shot and killed. But when she comes forward, her life, as well as her son’s life, may now be in the crosshairs of the assassin.

My Thoughts on Dead Silence:
This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m smitten. She did a wonderful job keeping me entertained and reading. Though I knew who was ultimately the bad guy there were enough wrenches thrown in to keep me guessing on things too.
I am not deaf, I do not know sign language, but I would learn if I had a need. In fact, my kids do know a little bit from school. But I digress. I have learned things that most people don’t know for the sake of my kids, but they’re not life or death my kids can’t communicate with the world without them important.
This is a great mystery/suspense novel. You’ve got the standard-issue going on. She heard about a crime going to be committed but she didn’t’ do anything about it because she got distracted by her son. He broke his arm and he’s deaf so signing will be an issue. Because she did nothing her mother-in-law is dead.
Can Elise convince everyone she’s innocent? That she didn’t knowingly ignore what she heard, or rather what she read on the lips of others?
Now add to those issues the FBI investigating. Elise getting deadly packages and then her son getting kidnapped. Someone will stop at nothing to silence her. But somewhere there is still a leak. The bad guys keep winning like maybe someone on the team is feeding them all the answers.
This is a wonderful read that I couldn’t put down. I highly recommend you get a copy and read it today.

More from Robin
Hi, there… Robin here. I’m getting so excited for the release of my thirty-fourth novel, DEAD SILENCE. I have to say, I love this book. The heroine is strong, yet flawed. Her love for her son—willing to do anything to protect him is a mother’s instinct I relate to so well, having three daughters and two grandsons. The love of a mother for her child is so ingrained in me that I wanted to share that in a story.
I’ve been asked why I opted for a heroine who is an ASL translator and who has a deaf son. Many years ago, I became friends with someone who is deaf. She shared with me some of her frustrations, but also how her way of life is in comparison to mine.
It got me to thinking that being deaf could be thought of as a disability but could also be used as an advantage…it was all in how you looked at it. My friend shared many stories of how she “eavesdropped” by reading lips and learned much about people and how they reacted to issues, enough that it led her into her career field today—a counsellor, specializing in providing therapy for the hearing impaired as they live in a hearing world. I hope that I portrayed my characters in this positive light.
While I’m a Louisiana girl at heart, I reside in Little Rock, the capital city for Arkansas. Since Bill and Hilary Clinton lived here and claimed it home before Bill was President, we have many political plans and posturing here. I saw it as a perfect backdrop for this particular story with the political undercurrents running rampant throughout the story.
I hope that you enjoy reading DEAD SILENCE as much as I enjoyed writing it.
