The setting was wonderful and familiar, as I have visited quite a few of the historical sites and cemeteries mentioned. Graham always weaves in local lore and history her series, which I enjoy immensely. She vividly paints the landscape and amps up the suspense with her descriptions.
The missing person and murders were my favorite aspect of the Silenced. Graham gave us perspectives from the killer and slipping inside his mind really notched up the suspense. The case began to weave the missing person, murders and events around a D.C. Senator with eyes on the White House. Red herrings, and twists kept me engaged and I enjoyed seeing all of the threads come together as Lara and Matt connected the dots.
Matt and Lara had a rough, awkward start but slowly began developing feelings for each other. I loved the banter between them and Graham added a special element to the mix that brought humor and helped with the case. There is some heat, and once things ignited, the relationship moved quickly. While not my favorite romance of the series, I enjoyed these characters.
