Book Overview
It's hard to bury the past when bodies keep turning up ...
After an abrupt end to her tour of duty, former Marine MP Brynn Callahan and her canine partner, Wilco, arrive stateside--both bearing the scars of battle. With a mix of affection and misgivings, Brynn heads back to Bone Gap, Tennessee, and the insular culture she'd escaped when she enlisted. The Irish Travellers keep to themselves in the mountains, maintaining an uneasy coexistence with the "settled" townspeople of McCreary. But when Wilco's training as a cadaver dog leads Brynn to a body in the woods, long-simmering tensions threaten to boil over. Forming a reluctant alliance with local sheriff Frank Pusser, Brynn must dig up secrets that not only will rattle her close-knit clan to its core, but may forever change her perception of who she is ... and put her back in the line of fire. "A terrific read."
--Christine Carbo "Heart-felt and pulse-pounding."
--Harry Hunsicker "Furlong will keep you on the edge of your seat."
--K.J. Howe "Brynn and her war-injured dog are characters readers will root for."
--Suzanne Chazin
"Susan Furlong's steel-tough, authentic storytelling delivers."
--Larry D. Sweazy

I Enjoyed This
Published by Linda Demaree , 9 months ago
I enjoyed this book and will read the next two in the series. I actually knew next to nothing about the Irish Travellers, (Pavees) which actually enticed me to read more about them. Now I really want to read their history, which I will be looking into in the future. Regarding Splintered Silence, I noticed that a lot of reviewers did not like the characters, but I found them to be true in the sense of they are all flawed. Aren't we all? There were definitely some I liked and most definitely some I didn't like. I think my favorite character was the dog Wilco. I think perhaps the most unsettling thing about this story to me is the blatant all out prejudices from both sides in this story - the Travellers and the Settled. Neither has really bothered to learn much about the other, and I would say the habits and practices of both sides leaves a lot to be desired. Which brings me back to my original statement - all the characters have their flaws the same as all people in society today are flawed. Welcome to the real world. I look forward to reading the next in the series.
