THE SUPPRESSOR
A Silence Jones Thriller Series, Book 1

by Erik Carter

Narrated by: Gary Bennett

Production by: Erik Carter

When Silence Can Be Deadly!

What drives a man to kill? For Silence Jones, the murder of his fiancé, mutilation of his face, and the near destruction of his vocal cords force Jones to become a vigilante assassin. Those that stole everything from him are winding up dead, and those still left living are living in fear. Offered a new life and job, Silence Jones becomes the judge, jury, and executioner for the watchers.

The author, Erik Carter weaves a dark story of loss and revenge. Carter writes to several types of listeners – those seeking action and adventure, redemption, compassion, and darkness. Carter accomplishes all this and more with this dark story. His characters are well developed and rich in depth. The plot twists throughout the story were well done. My favorite character was the old woman on the porch – she knew Silence and guided him in his growth. I thought her place in the story reflected his continued connection to humanity given all his losses.

The narrator, Gary Bennett gives a solid performance that adds to the mystery with Silence Jones. His unique voice and attitude matched the character perfectly. The level of gravel sound in his voice reflected the pain vividly that Silence was enduring. The performance of Bennett moved the story forward. Bennett’s performance nudged this book well above the standard 5-star rating thus earning the book the AudioBook Reviewer’s Choice Award.

Due to the above, this book was awarded the highly prestigious AudioBook Reviewer’s Choice Award as it was believed to deserve a higher rating than the standard 5-star rating.

The production and quality of this audiobook were perfect. I encountered no issues; it was clear and crisp.
