Laurel Jennings has a hard time making friends, and the few
she has made she has lost either through their betrayal or
through their death. Her closest friend and co-worker,
Jonathan Linton, was recently murdered, and she is being
arrested for his murder. On first inspection, all evidence
points to her -- she found the body, her fingerprints are on
the murder weapon, and she has no solid alibi for the time
of his death. She has no idea who could have killed
Jonathan with such passion, but she knows that she did not
do it. Will she be able to prove her innocence from behind
bars? Or is there another power at work trying to keep her
locked up forever?
Damon Metcalf left behind the fast paced life of a District
Attorney and settled for a slow paced life in Montana.
When he receives a fax about the arrest of Laurel Jennings
for the murder of Jonathan Linton, Damon finds himself on
the first plane back into that fast paced world. He plans
to offer his services as her defense even though he worked
prosecution for all those years; however, Laurel refuses
his services. When he can find no other attorney that is
not somehow associated with the Linton family, she has no
option but to keep on. Will their old chemistry flare back
to life or is it too late to try? Will Damon be able to
save Laurel from the death sentence that her crime demands?
Jamie Denton beautifully crafts multi-faceted, gripping
suspense laced with romance. Her characters are diverse
and add a wonderful dimension to the plot as the reader
receives glimpses from each of their points of view. Ms.
Denton's tale consists of mini stories that she combines
flawlessly to create an exciting thriller. I love romantic
suspense and Jamie Denton is an author that I would highly
recommend. REMAIN SILENT is a fast paced suspense that
keeps you glued to the edge of your seat and flipping those
pages as quickly as possible.
