Silent Night by Nell Pattison

Five deaf students go camping in the woods with three adults  - interpreter, social worker and head teacher.  After the first night,  one student disappeared and the head teacher has been murdered. 

Paige is hired to interpret as the police investigate. Singh leads the case as newly appointed DS. 

When Paige arrives at the cabin,  she realizes the school's interpreter is her abusive ex - five years together,  three years since they saw each other.  

As the case builds,  Paige struggles to maintain her distance from Mike while working on her relationship with her current boyfriend,  Max. 

There are some good twists in this book - but overall predictable.  

I feel this book did a great job bringing attention to children in care and their vulnerability.  Often they are targeted,  exposed to predators.  

Thank you, Netgalley , for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
