Clea Koff's Silent Evidence is a chillingly authentic forensic thriller that gripped me from its macabre opening scene: frozen body parts tumbling onto a Los Angeles freeway. As a forensic anthropologist herself, Koff brings unparalleled realism to the story, where Jayne and Steelie's unique skills—analyzing skeletal remains to uncover hidden truths—are put to the ultimate test.
When the FBI enlists their help to track a suspected serial killer, they encounter a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries, including expertly dismembered remains, that push their expertise and resolve to the limit. The author uses her expertise to make the reader understand the science behind the investigations, which adds a layer of depth to the story. The characters of Jayne and Steelie are well developed, and their working relationship adds to the enjoyment of the book. The tension builds with each twist and turn, such as the tense scene where they examine a hidden burial site, and the mystery unfolds with relentless suspense.
Fans of the television series Bones and best-selling author Patricia Cornwell will find themselves utterly captivated by this first installment in the Jayne and Steelie Forensic Thriller series. Silent Evidence is a must-read for anyone who craves a thriller with both intellectual depth and heart-pounding suspense.
