5.0 out of 5 stars How can horror can silence you 6 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
Once again in Victorian England with William Monk, Hester Latterly and Oliver Rathbone and never too much. The prudish and apparently moral bound victorian society hides many devious aspects, among them prostitution. Hipocrisy is the key word and crime could and should be overlooked according to some. Not for Monk and Hester who will find the awful truth beneath the strict rules and the paramount virtue of pretending not to see, not to hear and not to speak. The Silent Cry is all the more powerful because of that.
However, I would like to know how is it possible that Dr. Riley could not find the truth before Hester does at the end of the book. That does not make much sense.
It seems the only flaw in an otherwise extraordinary book where you will be shaken out of your silence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Class Monk 10 April 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another interesting storyline ... but please resolve love triangle as its starting to get tedious. Yes I know it is in a future novel but it was a mild irritant for me and distracting from the plot at times.

Love this series and will continue on the journey with Hester and Monk! As always the detail and the writing are superb.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Silent Cry 3 Jan 2013
By Rich
Format:Paperback
Hester has a new patient, a young man found with his father in a rough part of the East End. The father was beaten to death and the young man was seriously wounded in the attack. Monk meanwhile is investigating a series of rapes in the same area.

This is better than 'Weighed In The Balance'. There are some nice bits scattered about especially regarding Monk and his old boss. Unfortunately elsewhere, it's the same old nonsense that Perry seems to indulge in. The identity of the villain is blatantly obvious from their first appearance on the page. Hester, comes off very badly in this installment. The main clue that reveals all remains hidden due to her stupidity and seemingly forgetting all her past experiences. The fact that Perry uses these past experiences to add weight to Hester's authority regarding what has happened, just makes the whole story totally unconvincing.

A grim story on a serious subject, rendered ridiculous by poor plotting and lazy writing.
