When Birds Fall Silent (Aileen and Callan Murder Mysteries, #3)

Her eyes widened into saucers, eyebrows piling high on her forehead. Pointing a shivering finger at Callan, she thrashed out her legs and wriggled. 'Him! It's him! He attacked me!'
A cold case threatens to shatter Callan's career.
Blaine Macgregor vanished on a summer's night fifteen years ago. Now, Detective Inspector Callan Cameron is investigating his case one last time. But for Callan it means unearthing a bygone summer he'd rather forget.
Amateur sleuth Aileen Mackinnon overhears a guest's puzzling conversation and can't stop asking questions. Is she being duped again? With Callan refusing to open up about his case, Aileen needs a distraction. What better than a case of her own?
As Aileen and Callan balance on a thin rope of betrayal and trust, one question haunts them: Is Blaine still alive?
If books by Paul Austin Ardoin, Janet Evanovich and Jullian Scott keep you up all night, When Birds Fall Silent is the perfect puzzling mystery for you!

Are you looking to solve murders? Perfect, Shana loves plotting them.
As a debut writer, Shana Frost is in her secret den hatching murders and having a blast with Aileen and the gang. It's crazy in there...
When not in the den, Shana always has her nose buried between the pages of a fiction novel. After all, the tantalising aroma of a story is far more enticing, especially for a sensitive nose like hers.
Shana's powerful sense of smell has helped her sniff out murder mysteries and a wide variety of characters.
Occasionally, she finds herself wandering ancient hallways of a castle, or a museum trying to smell the tales these walls effuse.
