About this ebook

Five figures gather round a shallow grave. They had all taken turns to dig. An adult sized hole would have taken longer. An innocent life had been taken but the pact had been made. Their secrets would be buried, bound in blood…


Years later, a headmistress is found strangled, the first in a spate of gruesome murders which shock the Black Country. But when human remains are discovered at a former children’s home, disturbing secrets are also unearthed.


Detective Kim Stone fast realises she’s on the hunt for a twisted individual whose killing spree spans decades. As the body count rises, Kim needs to stop the murderer before they strike again. But to catch the killer, can Kim confront the demons of her own past before it’s too late?


An absolutely gripping, darkly compelling, and nail-bitingly tense mystery thriller that will keep you racing through the pages long into the night. A Kindle Chart #1, multi-million-copy, international bestseller, Silent Scream turns fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid and Mark Billingham into Angela Marsons addicts.

 

Watch out for more from Detective Kim Stone.


A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Silent Scream is the first book in the series.

Angela Marsons does a wonderful job creating interesting characters that come to life. You will immediately feel a connection with all of them and the story line is just as engrossing. So far I've read all twenty books in the Kim Stone series and I'm looking forward to reading more!

Reading books may not make you rich, but not reading will definitely make you poor. Read the best book first, who knows maybe you won't have the chance to read it tomorrow. No matter how bad a book is, people can still glean some special things from it. Human life changes in two directions. One is to meet people you have met, the other is to read good books.

amazing read and totally free of charge, the best book I've read in a very long time. I'm hopeful there'll be more free books to come. This was gripping, excellent, couldn't put it down.

About the author

Angela Marsons is the author of #1 Bestseller SILENT SCREAM.

She lives in the Black Country with her partner, their bouncy Labrador and a swearing parrot.

She first discovered her love of writing at Junior School when actual lessons came second to watching other people and quietly making up her own stories about them. Her report card invariably read "Angela would do well if she minded her own business as well as she minds other people's".

After years of writing relationship based stories Angela turned to Crime, fictionally speaking of course, and developed a character that refused to go away - D.I. Kim Stone.
