A Mysterious Review of Walk Into Silence by Susan McBride. A Jo Larsen Mystery.

Review summary: Jo Larsen grounds this first in series mystery in a compelling manner, and the crime she is investigating is intriguing and suspenseful one. Although Jo’s personal life history somewhat muddles the narrative, her life as a detective is strong and straightforward. (Click here for text of full review.)

A Jo Larsen Mystery
Thomas & Mercer (December 2016)

Available from Amazon.com

Publisher synopsis: When Patrick Dielman shows up at Detective Jo Larsen’s desk insisting that his wife, Jenny, is missing, Jo wonders if it’s a case of a bored housewife running away.

But as she digs deeper into Jenny’s life, Jo learns that Dielman keeps a stranglehold on the family finances, down to the last nickel, and that Jenny’s first marriage dissolved following the death of her young son. By all accounts—including her doctor’s—she never recovered from the loss. Between a controlling husband, a tragic past, and a callous ex-husband, Jo can’t be sure if she should suspect foul play or accept that the woman may have wanted to disappear.

For Jo, whose own demons are shadowing her every step, finding Jenny becomes more than the typical protect-and-serve.
