Description
When does a secret admirer become a stalker? When chocolates on the doorstep give way to the sound of an intruder on the stairs? When the victim’s friends are waylaid in the dark and beaten bloody? When she receives photographs memorializing these events? Or when people start dying?
For Constable Hazel Best, the pivot point is the attack on her friend Gabriel Ash. That’s when she focuses all her ingenuity on finding the man responsible. Her police colleagues would be more help if they weren’t already occupied with two murders – but assistance does arrive from an unexpected source.
In the end, though, Hazel must deal with the stalker alone. And more than her own life will depend on the outcome …

A Hazel Best and Gabriel Ash Mystery
When Constable Hazel Best stops a confrontation between a local gang member and a harmless looking fellow on the train, a chain of events ends with bodies and everyone she loves in danger.
As she begins finding things on her doorstep, she at first believes she may have a secret admirer. Her full attention isn't on the flowers and chocolates, as Trucker, the local gang member is found dead. As Hazel tries to find a link between the dead boy and then a dead journalist, it's beginning to look like the secret admirer may have taken that next leap to stalker. And when Ash is brutally beaten and warned to stay away from Hazel while at the same time Saturday shows up again, Hazel is determined to find the culprit. But it may cost her life.
I love the characters in this book. They aren't perfect. Bad things have happened to them And one is a talking dog. But they are a family in the truest definition of the word.
Very Well Done

"Silent Footsteps" is part of the 'Ash and Best Mystery' series. This is the first book I have read from the series and I found it a really enjoyable read. The plot was creepy and unnerving and although reading the other books in the series might have given some insights into the characters' personalities and the relationship dynamics, this book can also be enjoyed as a standalone.

I loved the author, Jo Bannister's portrayal of Hazel Best, who was caring and took her job seriously. The plot-line was engrossing and this was a great and solid, fast-paced thriller. A highly recommended and very worthwhile read.
I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my own request, from Severn House via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.
