Guest Blogger: Gillean Somerville -Arjat: Book Review: The Silent Boy by Andrew Taylor, Andrew Taylor?
Like Dickens, Andrew Taylor distils his fascination with crime into thoroughly satisfying fiction. His historical research is impeccable, his suspense gently drip-fed, chilling horrors suggested, cliff-hangers keep you guessing and then he upends all your expectations. The Silent Boy is an absorbing sequel to his epic Scent of Death , which was set in turbulent Manhattan during the American War of Independence, and shares the same central protagonist, Edward Savill.
