Highest Praise for
C. E. Lawrence
 
 
Silent Kills
 
“A dark and atmospheric thriller that takes
an unflinching look at the primal urges—and
disturbing fears—we all share. Sharp, distinct
detail and an unnerving plot.”
—Steven James
 
“A startlingly suspenseful novel—an unforgettable
and deep portrait of the mind of a killer. Don’t
miss this extraordinary page-turner—Lawrence
is a first-rate story teller.”

Cody Mcfadyen
 
“A sophisticated thriller with robust, fascinating
characters . . . an intense psychological ride . . .
a great story.”

J. T. Ellison
 
 
Silent Victim
 
“C. E. Lawrence’s writing is so compulsively
readable, you won’t just tear through the pages,
you’ll scream through them.”

Chris Grabenstein
More Praise for
Silent Victim
 
 
“Lawrence pushes plot and character boundaries to
put an entirely new twist on the whole concept of the
serial killer. . . . Lawrence provides surprises and
bumps in the night and day, even while assembling
a cast of characters who are by turns odd, quirky
and memorable. I simply cannot wait for her next
book.... Lawrence’s ability to create flawed and
memorable characters and to take a familiar plot
in unexpected directions has me hooked.”

Bookreporter.com
 
“This vivid, chilling serial-killer thriller will have
readers jumping at every sound. Although serial
killer thrillers glut the market, C. E. Lawrence’s
flawed champion makes for a strong tale.”

Harriet Klausner
 

Silent Victim
is a very good, complex thriller . . .
and a very interesting look into the mind
of an insane person.”

Tracy Reader Dad Book Reviews
 
 
Silent Screams
 
“Criminally compelling,
Silent Screams
nails you
to your seat with a fascinating NYPD profiler who’s
hurled into the case of his lifetime. This journey
into violence and the soul is unforgettable.”

Gayle Lynds
“Pulse-racing, compelling, first rate. Lawrence
knows how to build and hold suspense with the
best of them . . . a wild ride down a dark road.”

John Lutz
 
“C. E. Lawrence has achieved a rare level of
authenticity, not only in character development
but also in the realistic use of behavioral science. If
you want to read a serial-killer thriller that’s solidly
based on frightening reality, this is the one.”

Louis B Schlesinger
, Ph.D.,
Professor of Forensic Psychology,
John Jay College of Criminal Justice
 
“C. E. Lawrence delivers finely honed suspense,
with unique twists, and accurately captures the
logic and intuition of a profiler under pressure.”

Katherine Ramsland
 

Silent Screams
is a wickedly brilliant, carefully
wrought thriller where the roles of hunter and
hunted are skillfully blurred.... An escalating
torrent of murder you won’t soon forget.”

Gregg McCrary
 

Silent Screams
beckons C. E. Lawrence to become
a repeat offender in the thriller genre.”

Marina Staji
, Ph.D., DABFT, President of Ameri-
can Board of Forensic Toxicology
 
“A dark, intriguing thriller . . . Lawrence assembles
a quirky group of detectives and experts, all
strong characters who can support future
books in the series.”
