Full collection review available on my blog, 09/05/2022: https://inkandplasma.com/2022/05/09/the-hush-collection

This was a pretty well-written piece but really solidified that I’m just not interested in crime novels. If I was into them though, this would make me read more of Deaver’s work. The Gravedigger serial kidnapper was not what I expected and I loved the way that the ‘lies’ theme was threaded into this story. Having a reporter perspective instead of police definitely made me enjoy this more than other crime stories I’ve tried and I liked the duality of the old-school and new-school reporters working together. The ending was satisfying to read and I liked the way it all tied together in its short pages.
