Download The Price of Silence Audiobook

" It was great to find this book! Audio Book Store is a goldmine of finding ‘older’ books! I first listened to this from local library when on cassette tapes, (that dates me, eh?) and have so wanted to “re-read” it. In any event it was nice to visit a favorite read from way back. While I really like this book you have to know it sort of verges on “Cozy” type of genre. E.g. Todd Fielding is drawn to a mystery of teen girls disappearing from the town of Brindle, OR where Todd has landed a new, (and most needed,) job doing editing, layout, troubleshoot computer problems. Like typical Cozy mysteries there is no overt violence or foul language or explicit sex. In any case, the story is intriguing with some psychological and minor “woo-woo” elements that makes it a fun and easy read. Also the narrator, Anna Fields does a very good job and has been a favorite narrator of mine over other Kate Wilhelm books. "

" Kate Wilhelm knows how to write small town intrigue! I love the scary/thriller aspect of it. "

" A good story for treadmill and nighttime reading. "

" The story was ok, but the criminal was predicatble. I figured it out about half-way through the book. I listened to this on audiobook. "

" A very enjoyable mystery novel. This will be going to Meshe who picked it out of the Mystery VBB at BookObsessed. "

" It was engaging and it was about Oregon, which is always fun. The climax was insipid however and at it introduces parts of the story which are never fully explained. It is a murder mystery masquerading as a ghost story. "

" Good book, I like the youthfullness of the characters and the accurate portrayal of their age and their thought process. It was quite riveting, check it out. "

" A good thriller... I'm going to have to read more of her! "

" It was ok... good book for a rainy day... "

" Blah, only waded four chapters, in to find that I knew who the kidnapper was. "

" BOOK 37 OF 2010 - This is not my favorite Kate Wilhelm novel. It was interesting, if a bit slow paced at times, but not my favorite. It seemed to lack a bit of the depth Wilhelm usually builds into her novels. "

" Not as good as the Barbara Holloways, but still a good tale well told with engaging characters and plenty of suspects. The spooky aspect and the serial criminal aspects are negatives for me. "

" Todd Fielding, Barney, Ruth Ann Colonna, "The Brindle Times" "

" The setting is a creepy, little town in Eastern Oregon that has unexplained cold air spells that remain unexplained. I made most of the correct assumptions early on in guessing the mystery. It isn't an altogether logical book but it is still reasonably entertaining. "

" Had a very hard time putting it down. I was able to figure out the killer early on but I'm a mystery buff it's hard to fool me. : ) Loved the past and present stories through out the book. Also fun to read and see all the local towns in print. "

" I listened to this as a book on tape and it was pretty good. I would recommend it as a good background book. "

" Compelling psychological fiction. "

" Meh. It was okay. I read it on vacation so I needed something not-too-deep, and this fit the bill. It was an easy "mystery" to figure out about halfway through, but it remained entertaining at least. "

" An okay who-done-it mystery, set in Central Oregon. "

" Intriguing mystery that takes place in a small Oregon town. A little "scary" at times but a good read. "

" The Kate Wilhelm books are so cozy and relaxing. At the same time they are page turners. Very much like the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books. "

" Promising premise, but so shoddily written, it's barely worth reading. Storylines suddenly go missing and the resolution is almost nonsensical. "

" A dark and spooky mystery set in a northwest real enough to be a character as much as the novel's setting. "

" Liked a lot. Always enjoy her books. "

" I like Kate Wilhelm. This book stands independently of her other works, in the same manner as The Deepest Water. It makes a nice introductory work if you haven't read any of her other works. "

" Liked a lot. Always enjoy her books. "

" Excellent as usual but not quite my style. It veers to the romance end of cozy. She makes all violence intelligently off screen. I'd recommend this one to those who are the more sensitive but like mysteries anyway. "

" Kate Wilhelm knows how to write small town intrigue! I love the scary/thriller aspect of it. "

" This book was more like a Nancy Drew for Adults -- okay but not quite up to Wilhem's best. I gave it extra stars because of Anna Fields excellent narration. "

" Not her best. I figured out the killer about 1/3 the way in. Wouldn't recommend it.

" A light mystery, with an element of paranormal, which I don't usually like. However, this drew me in. I listened on my MP3 while walking or in the car. "

" Listening CD in car

Eh. Story dragged with humdrum filler. Typical formulaic stuff. I've also decided I only do audio well when I have a very long drive. "

" Definitely one of Wilhelm's best!!!! "
