Dead Silence is the gripping fourth novel in the Body Finder series. With romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, Dead Silence will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

All her life Violet has grappled with her ability to sense the echoes of those who have been murdered and the matching imprint that clings to their killers. Now that she has an imprint of her own, Violet's "gift" is intolerable. Torn between her desire to lead a normal life and the pressure from the Center to continue her work tracking down killers, Violet's world starts to unravel . . . and some of her most carefully guarded secrets are exposed.

Then she discovers a gruesome murder scene unlike anything she's ever encountered, and she can't rest until she's silenced the echoes for good. As Violet sets out to find a vicious murderer and his band of devoted followers, she realizes that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than protecting herself.

      Gr 9 Up-After being kidnapped and forced to kill her captor in The Last Echo (HarperCollins, 2012), 17-year-old body-finder Violet Ambrose must try to move on despite the murderer imprint now clinging to her. Her friends and boyfriend are there to help her adjust to "normal" life, but soon Violet's psychic abilities lead her to another gruesome discovery-a family of three murdered in their own home. With the killer's trail quickly growing cold, Violet and her team of psychics set out to find and protect a missing fourth family member-a teen about Violet's age. Dead Silence is a fast-paced paranormal thriller that will delight fans of the series as well as readers unfamiliar with it. Told partially through Violet's grandmother's journal entries as well as the killer's point of view, the book delivers a few intense action sequences and plenty of nail-biting suspense. Violet's ability to sense connections between dead bodies and their killers will appeal to teens who love Lisa McMann's "Wake" trilogy (S & S) or Libba Bray's The Diviners (Little, Brown, 2012). The murder discovery scene is quite bloody and may disturb sensitive readers, especially since one of the victims is a young boy. Dead Silence is rumored to be the last in the series; however, a few loose ends remain, as does the potential to continue Violet's story.-Leigh Collazo, Ed Willkie Middle School, Fort Worth, TX

      Grades 9-12 In Derting's latest Body Finder novel, Violet now wears Caine's imprint. The incessant music-box song is a constant reminder of her kidnapping and the murder she was forced to commit to save her own life. It disturbs her sleep, making her irritable and impatient with her team, her friends, her parents, and her boyfriend, Jay. But her mother's gift of Violet's grandmother's diaries, in which her grandmother reveals her ambivalent feelings about her own body-finding abilities, reinforces Violet's determination to use her talents for good. With likable characters, CSI-like crimes, and authentic high-school dialogue and drama, this series will continue to draw readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
