I'm really sorry but I cannot agree with these sparkling reviews of Susan Hill's "Vows of Silence" I found the continual trials and tribulations of Simon's family extremely irritating, - they really did go on and on - ex-girlfiend and all! It was pretty easy to guess the guilty party quite early on, and the so-called "Red Herrings" were so obvious they were more like "Great White Whales" I have not read any of these Simon Serrailler
stories before, but none of the support characters struck me as being very interesting, - or necessary - and there were far too many of them.
And a bit of humour here and there would not have been out of place amidst all that gloom and doom. Doesn't anyone in Lafferton ever have a laugh? I read this book fresh from reading R.D. Wingfields "A Killing Frost" Sorry folks -just NO CONTEST.
WELL WORTH THE WAIT - HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LONG UNTIL THE NEXT! July 19, 2008

Having read all the books in this series, this is an excellent read.
When it arrived, I tried to save it for a week or so to no avail!
So well researched and written that you just get absorbed into Lafferton and SS's life, family and friends, but with that extra aspect of detection that always brings the final twist.
Can't wait for the next!

This detective based series is gathering force at a great pace. Do read it all in one go and enjoy the ride. Almost too much to think about and a very very sad passage which I will remember for a long time - it brought real tears to my eyes.
I feel a part of this Lafferton world and certainly I am pleased that there is more to come. Just a tiny criticism - a few loose ends left straggling about - no need to over egg the pudding Ms Hill - it's fine as it is!
Gripping cathedral crime July 6, 2008

A gunman is killing young women in the cathedral town of Lafferton. There seems to be no connection between the women targeted, and the police have few leads. DCS Simon Serrailler & his team must follow the few leads available & try to anticipate the murderer's next move. What distinguishes this series from most other series in the genre is the feel & texture of real life which Hill evokes. Serrailler is another in a long line of loner detectives, wary of commitment in his private life. But, he has a family, and for me, this allows us to see his humanity & makes him a believable character. His sister, Cat, has just returned from a sabbatical in Australia with her husband & children. Cat & Chris are both doctors, and this has brought in other characters to the series that reappear in this book. Most significantly, Jane Fitzroy, an Anglican priest, who ran away from the tentative beginnings of a relationship with Simon in an earlier book. Serrailler's mother has died, & he's upset by his father's new relationship. Other characters are briefly introduced, and, in some cases, violently removed, just as the reader has started to get to know them. We also enter the mind of the killer, and understand his motives while the police are still in the dark. There are plenty of red herrings & the solution is satisfying. I read it in an afternoon & can't wait for the next installment.
