Publisher's Summary

Out of the Silence is a powerful revenge thriller which will appeal to fans of authors like Victoria Selman, Chris Collet and J.B. Turner.

Star investigative reporter Ralph Buchanan’s glory days are behind him. His newspaper has banished him abroad, not knowing the greatest moment of his long career is waiting for him there. 

When Simone Jasnin asks him to help expose a grave injustice, he finds himself embroiled in a harrowing tale that began in a dusty rural settlement, setting in motion a chain of events that will change the lives of everyone involved. 

Seven years later, members of a prominent family are being brutally murdered. The only clue is a hand-carved wooden bangle left at the scene of each crime. 

As the list of suspects grows and the tension mounts, Ralph realises the answers might be closer to home than he ever thought possible. Solving the mystery will put him back on top, but at what cost?

A Book everyone should read!

Thoroughly researched and well presented, this book appears to be created around stories vaguely incites memories of news items about the plight of women in countries like Pakistan imbuing a sense of truth.
Congratulations to Owen Mullen for his novel created around these harrowing facts. Professionally narrated by David McCallion, I could not put the book down. Highly recommended to all!

A cracker

When I started this novel I loved the narration and wondered if it would carry the story. It was an amazing novel. Great characterisation and the structure of the narrative was a little unusual and kept me guessing almost to the end. So worthwhile and such a relevant topic so much more than a murder! Great narration.

Worthy page-turner

Good to have a suspense novel depart from the usual 'body found on a low tide' trope. It was longer than most of the books in the suspense category but it held my interest throughout. The only drawback was the sometimes overly thick Scottish accent.

An emotional rollercoaster

Very moving, well worth hearing and still piognant. Having worked as a nurse in the Middle East I can share that tragically, this war still rages 😢
