However, Mannon’s witticisms made this book bearable to read! I love her snarky brain and the way she thinks.īelow are just a few of my favorite gems from Manon (and one from Mark): On top of it all, Steiner’s Author’s note brought me to tears. There are no happy endings in this story. The topics of xenophobia and racism were only too real and timely. Split between Manon, Davy, and one of the Lithuanian immigrants, Steiner explores growing tensions and divides over immigration. But isn’t it always? Struggling to balance her career with motherhood, with aging and relationship problems with her partner, Mark, Manon is in a shambles.
What’s the name for this?”Īt the same time, Manon’s personal life is a bit of a mess. “People searching for a better life are despised for wanting it when native strivers are admired. DS Manon Bradshaw and her partner are pulled into the investigation, bringing them into contact with a group of desperate and displaced people struggling to survive: When a Lithuanian immigrant is found hanging from a tree, suicide is believed to be the cause of death, but when a closer look is taken, it appears that the victim might have been murdered.
While this book can be read as a standalone, I think the reader won’t fully appreciate Manon’s character if they skip the first two books in this series. This is book #3 in the Manon Bradshaw series. Remain Silent is a timely and depressing police procedural about the murder of an immigrant and the growing racial and xenophobic tensions in post-Brexit England.
