Dead Silence is the gripping fourth novel in the Body Finder series. With romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, Dead Silence will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

All her life Violet has grappled with her ability to sense the echoes of those who have been murdered and the matching imprint that clings to their killers. Now that she has an imprint of her own, Violet's "gift" is intolerable. Torn between her desire to lead a normal life and the pressure from the Center to continue her work tracking down killers, Violet's world starts to unravel . . . and some of her most carefully guarded secrets are exposed.

Then she discovers a gruesome murder scene unlike anything she's ever encountered, and she can't rest until she's silenced the echoes for good. As Violet sets out to find a vicious murderer and his band of devoted followers, she realizes that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than protecting herself.

In Derting's latest Body Finder novel, Violet now wears Caine's imprint. The incessant music-box song is a constant reminder of her kidnapping and the murder she was forced to commit to save her own life. It disturbs her sleep, making her irritable and impatient with her team, her friends, her parents, and her boyfriend, Jay. But her mother's gift of Violet's grandmother's diaries, in which her grandmother reveals her ambivalent feelings about her own body-finding abilities, reinforces Violet's determination to use her talents for good. With likable characters, CSI-like crimes, and authentic high-school dialogue and drama, this series will continue to draw readers. Copyright 2012 Booklist Reviews.
