Political games can be deadly…
Elise Carmichael is a court sign language interpreter who reads lips all the time. As a widow with a young son who is deaf, lip reading is simply second nature, until the day she reads the lips of someone on the phone discussing an attempt to be made on a senator’s life—a senator who just happens to be her mother-in-law. Before she can decide what she needs to do, she receives the information that her son is rushed to the ER and she must leave. Then she later sees the news report that her mother-in-law has been shot and killed. But when she comes forward, her life, as well as her son’s life, may now be in the crosshairs of the assassin.

Summary
Dead Silence by Robin Carroll is a mystery with a lead character the widowed mother to a deaf child. This made for very interesting scenes and she had an interesting job; a sign language interpreter for the courts.
Elise witnessed a conversation regarding a planned murder of her mother in law who is a Senator. The story revolves around solving that mystery and people coming after her and her son once they realize she was the witness.
There is no romance in the story but great relationships between Elise and the babysitter and Elise and her sister in law. I also enjoyed the newcomer journalist, Wesson.
The mystery was easy to solve and the majority of the book Elise is mad (rightfully so) at the FBI. I enjoyed the book but would have liked a few more positive scenes to break up the negativity
Violence – someone is murdered, she receives threatening gifts
