@kcjreads •Not a Sound, By: Heather Gudenkauf {Cool side note: Iowa author-book also takes place in Iowa🖤💛} “When a tragic accident leaves nurse Amelia Winn deaf, she ends up losing everything that matters--her job, her husband, David, and her stepdaughter, Nora. Now, two years later and with the help of her hearing dog, Stitch, she is finally getting back on her feet. But when she discovers the body of a fellow nurse in the dense bush near her cabin, she is plunged into a mystery that could shatter the carefully reconstructed pieces of her life all over again. As clues begin to surface, Amelia finds herself swept into an investigation that hits all too close to home. But how much is she willing to risk in order to uncover the truth and bring a killer to justice?” I thought this was a really good light thriller book! Definitely kept me on my toes! I love that the author is from Iowa, & the book setting also takes place in Iowa. The details in the very beginning of the book were almost a little too detailed-like I was getting too lost in the words, but then things seemed to straighten out a little better & it made me feel like I was actually walking beside Amelia as an unseen observer, the entire time. The author goes into great detail with making the reader get an insight to really feeling exactly what it’s like facing some of the challenges of being deaf. Amelia is one tough & stubborn cookie! And her dog Stitch- goodest boy, just loved him!😍 All in all, I’d recommend the book. And will also be reading more from this author, as I’ve seen great reviews on her newest book! #kcjreads #bookreview #bookrecommendations #notasound #bookstagram

Review Quotes
Heather Gudenkauf is one of my favorite new authors, and NOT A SOUND explains why. You won't be able to put down this breathless story of a young nurse, Amelia Winn, who has lost everything after a tragic accident - her nursing career, her husband, her stepdaughter, and even her hearing. You'll root for Amelia as she battles to reclaim her life and even fights to get justice for a friend of hers, a nurse who was brutally murdered. NOT A SOUND is not only a riveting thriller, but it's a moving portrait of a woman who is stronger than she ever believed possible, against all odds. -Lisa Scottoline, New York Times bestselling author [A] moving thriller... Gudenkauf maximizes tension all the way through the literally cliff-hanging finale. -Publishers Weekly, starred review Gudenkauf has created a memorable character in Amelia. Self-deprecating and sometimes angry, her candid voice is a breath of fresh air and an antidote to traditional thriller heroines. In addition, she is self-reliant and strong. The plot contains some clever twists, and the final showdown crackles with tension. It's hard not to root for Amelia and Stitch; flawed as they are, they're tough, engaging fighters. Come for the mystery; stay for the taut suspense, the unique heroine-and of course, the ugly, loyal dog. -Kirkus Reviews Heather Gudenkauf has created a special thriller with a unique and brilliantly effective hook that I simply could not put down.
