The Longest Silence

4.5 Stars Jo Guthrie was abducted and held for 14 days by a savage serial killer 18 years ago. Two other women were held with her .. one of them did not survive.

But a particularly gruesome case left him with nightmares that only alcohol could prevent. In turn, that cost him his wife and his job. His niece is missing and has been for several days. Troubling as well is the fact that another college girl has gone missing. Jo knows what has happened to them. Now she needs someone to listen .. someone like LeDoux. But will he? As they start an investigation independent of the local law enforcement, they find links to the girls' disappearance ... now and of those 18 years ago. Unfortunately, they all seem to be dead or dying off. Someone is trying to clean house. Jo and Tony find themselves the target of a vicious serial killer... a killer they must get to before the missing girls become dead girls. This is a riveting, compelling story.

Thank you Debra Webb for the ARC of The Longest Silence that I read and reviewed. The fourth book for the Shades of Death book was a great way to end the series. I loved Tony LaDoux story and Joanna Guthrie who was matched up with him in this book. This book has so many twist and turns I could not put it down because I did not want to miss a second of what was going on with Tony and Joanna and their search for Tony's niece and what really happened to Joanna eighteen years ago. This was one of Webb's books that suck you in and does not leave go until the very end. The Longest Silence gets five out of five stars.
