Don't Say A Word Author:Andrew Klavan The bathroom door opened behind him. Conrad glanced over his shoulder. Aggie had come out wrapped in his white terry cloth bathrobe. It was too big for her and came up around her ears like a high collar. Her blue eyes blinked out from it gaily. — "Sweetheart?" he said. "Isn't that the apartment where the old lady got killed?" — "Which?" Aggie, who... more » loved gossip of all kinds, was immediately attentive. SHe approached him as he gestured toward the dark window.
"Yeah, that's it. Lucia Sinclair's place. Or Park Avenue House of Death as we faithful readers of the Post call it. Why?"
"Has anyone moved in there?"
"Not that I've heard. And I would've heard."
"Huh," Conrad said. "I thought I just saw someone light a match in the window."
Aggie wrinkled her nose. "I can't believe anyone would want to rent it yet, after what they did to that poor woman. Remember the papers said they kept her alive while they...?"

I started this book three times and left it until I had no other books to read. It was much better than I imagined, lots of suspense. Klavan writes with a lot of detail and builds his characters personalities and looks so it seems as if they are real. An excellent read, highly recommend.
Gritty, amazingly good read! Andrew Klavan is a very good writer and you will like this one if you like suspense, well done and with a bit of the unusual. Well written.
