The Vows of Silence, the fourth crime novel featuring Chief Inspector Serrailler, is perhaps even more compulsive and convincing than its predecessors. A gunman is terrorizing young women in the cathedral town of Lafferton. What, if anything, links the apparently random murders? Is the marksman with the rifle the same as the killer with the handgun?With the complexity and character study that earned raves for The Pure in Heart and the relentless pacing and plot twists of The Various Haunts of Men, The Vows of Silence is truly the work of a writer at the top of her form.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49810210881809,"sku":"CIN0792781252G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0792781252.jpg?v=1751200895"},{"product_id":"comforts-of-home-book-susan-hill-9781419738951","title":"The Comforts of Home","description":"Susan Hill\u0026amp;;the Man Booker Prize nominee and winner of the Whitbread, Somerset Maugham, and John Llewellyn Rhys awards\u0026amp;;returns with the ninth book in one of the most acclaimed mystery series of our time.
