Review Quotes
"This book is a creepy thrill." --Leslie Zemeckis, Montecito Journal
"This gritty thriller is a fantastic but disquieting and scary-to-think-about start to the series. The author's experience as a lawyer added to the authenticity of the courtroom and other legal aspects of the plot. Gripping scenes and a well-crafted and riveting plot hooked me from the very beginning. It is unsettling at times, but this is balanced with thoughtful moments of Piper with her grandmother and with Sophie as well as some emotional scenes. The book was a page-turner that kept me engaged throughout the storyline." --Pam Guynn, Mystery and Suspense Magazine
"The Silent Watcher by Victor Methos is a real page-turner from page one.

"The Silent Watcher is gritty, authentic, and packs a punch. Victor Methos's own inimitable style is addictive." ―Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author
