The Vows of Silence

A chilling portrait of grief, obsession, and the quiet violence that hides in plain sight.

In the fourth installment of the acclaimed Simon Serrailler series, Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler faces one of his most disturbing cases yet: a gunman is stalking the cathedral town of Lafferton, targeting young women in a series of seemingly motiveless killings.

As the community reels from shock and fear, Serrailler must navigate a tangled web of secrets, grief, and moral ambiguity.

The Vows of Silence is not just a gripping crime novel—it’s a meditation on loss, silence, and the emotional toll of violence. With her signature psychological depth and elegant prose, Susan Hill delivers a literary mystery that lingers long after the final page.
