PLAY DEAD What people are saying about Silent Scream ‘A superb debut by an assured new writer. Blending sharp wit with emotion, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride alongside DI Kim Stone and look forward to the next outing.’ Mel Sherratt 'Stunning' Mail on Sunday 'I absolutely loved it! ... This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson! I would seriously put this book in the same league.' Fiona’s Book Reviews ‘I have not been so impressed by a debut novel in a long time, and I'm actually now itching for more …D.I. Kim Stone is like the British Jane Rizzoli. She's so ballsy and doesn't understand the meaning of the word no. I LOVE heroines who just do what they want and sod the consequences and Kim did that, right from the beginning... I can't wait for the second book, because this one was a top-notch crime thriller.’ Leah Loves ’I don't think I've been so hooked by a new author since the discovery of Mark Edwards or Mark Billingham… Silent Scream gets 5 stars from me - if you finish a crime thriller feeling like you just need to have a lie-down and a cup of tea to get your breath back, then the writer has done their job. Angela Marsons, I still don't have my breath back.’ Reading Room with a View ‘Normally when I see everybody rating a book five stars I think 'Is it really that good?' Silent Scream is that good, and then some… The only problem Angela now faces is keeping up this standard as the series progresses, but if she does than she's going to be an author to watch and a huge star within the genre.’ Book Addict Shaun ‘I started reading ‘Silent Scream’ thinking I would just read a few chapters. I ended up reading it all… An excellent read and one I would happily recommend.’ Northern Crime ‘This is a fantastic debut novel by Marsons. The blurb said that if you were a fan of Val McDermid and Mark Billingham you would love this book and being a huge fan of both I thought I would give it a go and I was pleasantly surprised… With lots of twists and turns this is a real page turner.’ The Laughing Librarian ‘It's highly unusual for me to find a book that leads me to put my life on hold. But Angela Marson's Silent Scream has led me to virtually abandon work for the last day, even with deadlines looming… ticks all the boxes for a 5* rating from me: a well written flowing story; strong but vulnerable protagonist; fast pace; intrigue; twists and turns until several final OMG moments; plenty of action; and the revealing of a brutal murderer.’ Off the Shelf

Angela Marsons
ANGELA MARSONS (nascida em Brierley Hill, Inglaterra, em 1968) é uma escritora britânica de Thrillers Policiais, de Crime, Mistério, Ficção e Suspense. Ela já vendeu mais de 3 milhões e meio de cópias de seus Romances, que foram traduzidos para 28 idiomas. Ela é a autora da famosa série international bestselling 'DI Kim Stone'. Marsons descobriu seu amor pela escrita na escola, quando seus trabalhos ficaram em segundo plano para ela observar outras pessoas e criar suas próprias histórias. Em seu boletim, sempre estava escrito: “Angela se daria bem se ela se importasse tanto com os trabalhos como se importa com os outros”. Após anos escrevendo histórias baseadas em relacionamentos ("The Forgotten Woman" e "Dear Mother"), Marsons voltou-se para o Crime, ficcionalmente falando, é claro, e desenvolveu uma personagem que se recusou a ir embora. Ela assinou a série 'Kim Stone' com a Bookouture.com para um total de 16 livros, que já foram traduzidos para mais de 27 países. A autora é declaradamente LÉSBICA e atualmente está morando em Black Country com sua parceira (Julie), seu labrador e um papagaio.
