Summary
The Silent Room is the first tense police procedural in the thrilling Matthew Ryan series by Mari Hannah.
A security van sets off for Durham prison, a disgraced Special Branch officer in the back. It never arrives. En route it is hijacked by armed men, the prisoner sprung. Suspended from duty on suspicion of aiding and abetting the audacious escape of his former boss, Detective Sergeant Matthew Ryan is locked out of the manhunt.
Desperate to preserve his career and prove his innocence, he backs off. But when the official investigation falls apart, under surveillance and with his life in danger, Ryan goes dark, enlisting others in his quest to discover the truth.
When the trail leads to the suspicious death of a Norwegian national, Ryan uncovers an international conspiracy that has claimed the lives of many.
Continue the gripping crime series with The Death Messenger.

Good story, but tedious
Struggled on to finish the story. Narration is OK but far too much detail to dialogue. Story Could have been half the length too much unnecessary detail in conversation.

Long and tedious
Only made bearable by speeding up to 1.5. Naive and adolescent writing. I struggled to finish it.

Persevere with this book
The narration is excellent and the characters are good but the story does go on a bit. I was about to give up but then it got going and I enjoyed the rest.

Great novel
At first I couldn’t get into this, however it really does repay some perseverance. Really liked the narrator as well, the accent was subtle rather than over the top and I thought the Norwegian accent and speech was excellent (although I’m English so what would I know!). Going to download the second book now!

The narrative and that the narrator could speak Norwegian or pretend he did. The whole story was convincing.

Persevere
Yes some of the narration is slightly odd but the story so very very good. After a while you get used to the narration. The story is very very good.

Throughly enjoyed listening to this book. As I’m from the northeast it’s Lovely to hear a regional accent.

Matt Ryan
Yet another excellent listen from Mari Hannah and Tim Bruce. Only problem is that Time voice is so relaxing it's taken longer to finish cos I fell asleep. Looking forward to book 2.
