Great job. The change of information was excellent and make s the heroine real. Splintered Silence is a tough and gritty book that deals with the effects of a veteran returning from serving in the Marines in Afghanistan, and a group that I had heard of, but didn't know much about, the Irish Travelers. Brynn Callahan has returned home to the traveler's settlement in Bone Gap, Tennessee after three tours overseas with her service dog, Wilco.

Brynn's duty was body recovery, and Wilco is her cadaver-sniffing dog. Both are experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome as a result Splintered Silence is a tough and gritty book that deals with the effects of a veteran returning from serving in the Marines in Afghanistan, and a group that I had heard of, but didn't know much about, the Irish Travelers.

Both are experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome as a result of their tour and assignment. The Travelers are a much-maligned group -- many think of them as thieving gypsies, and as a result, they keep to themselves, away from the "settlers" who live in towns and cities. When Wilco runs off and discovers a body in the dense woods surrounding the traveler's community, tensions mount between the travelers and the settlers, and Brynn unwillingly finds herself helping the Sheriff, who is not trusted by her community and consequently receives no help from them in his investigation.

This book is full of atmosphere, family loyalties, betrayals, prejudices, and mysteries. It deals with the devastating PTSD that has affected so many veterans returning from overseas combat who are trying to re-assimilate into pre-combat life. I also learned a lot about the Irish Travelers, their clans and clansmanship, and their deep distrust of the settlers. I was riveted to the pages and found this book to be an intense and emotional read and highly recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are solely my own. May 23, Jackie Nolan rated it really liked it. I wasn't sure what to expect when going into this book, but I'm really glad I read this story! This book was so unique and unlike anything else that I've ever read. I had never heard of the Irish Travellers before reading this book. I enjoyed learning about them and their culture. It was really interesting to read about and added a special element to the story being told.

You can't help but feel for Brynn. She has been through so much, it's no wonder that she has PTSD and is having trouble copin I wasn't sure what to expect when going into this book, but I'm really glad I read this story! She has been through so much, it's no wonder that she has PTSD and is having trouble coping with everything. She had to endure some hard truths and went through some really painful, traumatic situations.

This book deals with some heavy topics but the author handled them very well. I like that Brynn was able to bring Wilco with her. Wilco was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed reading about him as well. Brynn and Wilco were each other's rock and I'm so glad that they were able to be that for each other. The mystery in this book was very well done.

It starts right from the beginning and holds onto you until the end of the book. People are not always what they seem to be. Loyalties were tested, tensions were high, relationships were strained. It created a lot of suspense in the story and kept me engaged. There were twists and turns that I was not expecting. My mouth dropped open in shock a couple times. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the book, wondering how everything was going to turn out.

So, although some of the themes in this book were difficult to read about, this was a great book and I'm stoked to see that there will be another book coming out in this series later on. I'll definitely keep me eye out for that one! I'd love to see where Brynn's story takes her next. Jul 18, Sarah Dykes rated it it was amazing. I am a huge fan of Susan Furlong's Georgia Peach cozy mystery series, so when I saw that she was writing a novel that featured a former Marine and her military working dog, I was ecstatic.

Brynn and Wilco, her human remains detection dog, return to Bone Gap after being seriously injured and traumatized during deployment.

Her home is far from happy - a member of the Irish Travellers, the clan's values tend to clash with those of the "settled" people, and tensions are running high both amongst the clan members and the neighbouring town.

Wilco discovers a body in a rocky area behind the Irish Travellers' settlement, and Brynn is soon juggling the demands of the police, her family, neighbours, and friends, while dealing with PTSD and her past. The multiple issues brought up in this book, including prejudice, PTSD, addiction, and rape are seamlessly weaved together by Furlong, The character development is flawless, and the pacing and plotting of the mystery are perfect.

Th relationship between Brynn and Wilco, as well as his training, are well researched and the most accurate portrayal of handing and working dog that I have read in a fiction book; I often shy away from books featuring working dogs as they are so inaccurate and often depicted as "cute". Furlong rises above this and does true justice to the bond between handler and working dog. I could not put this book down and read it in 1. I can't wait for the next novel featuring Brynn and Wilco.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Publishers for an advanced reading copy. Jun 20, Jennifer Jenkin rated it liked it. It was an interesting read with interesting characters yet at the same time there was no actual content on to Brynn and "travellers" real way of life or culture other than a continual mention of "us vs them" There were also a few microaggressions when the character was describing what was most likely a trans sex worker and Hispanic men that bothered me.

No need for it. Feb 22, Lori Cimino rated it it was amazing. This book hooked me from beginning to end. I could not put it down. I want the next one now. I was happy to receive an e-mail of copy first of the Bone Gap series. There is more information about the Iris Travelers. The tale captured my interest from the first page to the last one. Plan on reading when you have the time as you won't want to put down.

Bryan is a half Pavee and Settled people except by neither. Bryan joined the marine because her left left no where to go. She was invalid out because of injuries and fought the Marines to bring Wilco home with her. Both received serious injuries when a LED explored near them. Wico got loose one day and disappeared. When Brynn found him, Wilco was on alert. Her new neighbor, Nathan Doogan accompanied and felt the body was is missing sister but it was Brynn's Mother.

When she was 8 years she was told her Mother had committed suicide. The Pavees did not allow those who commit suicide to be buried. Brynn and Wilco struggled through flashbacks and the events that are now coming to light.

The ending surprise me as I did not see it coming. Feb 10, Donna rated it really liked it. Brynn Callahan joined the marines when she was 18, did 3 tours of duty in the Middle East with her cadaver dog, and received a medical discharge after an IED incident which left her scarred. Brynn has faithful companion Wilco, a 60 lb Belgian Shepherd, combat trained, deaf, and missing his hind leg from the same IED.

Oh, that dog has captured my heart. They both have PTSD. Brynn and Wilco have moved back home to her grandparents mobile home where she grew up. Brynn and her family are Irish Trave Brynn Callahan joined the marines when she was 18, did 3 tours of duty in the Middle East with her cadaver dog, and received a medical discharge after an IED incident which left her scarred.

The townspeople, referred to as settled people, don't much like the Travelers and the feeling is mutual. On their first morning back home, Wilco finds a body in the woods and that's only the first one. The death hits close to home. I'm familiar with author Susan Furlong for her cozy mysteries. This novel is a changeover from cozy to suspense. I liked it! In a way, the story reminded me of an Amish mystery with the clannish behavior.

I see several ways for the author to move this series forward and I'll be looking for the next book. Dec 11, Cheryl rated it it was amazing. She worked as military police during her service with Wilco, a cadaver dog, finding the dead bodies of soldiers so they could be sent home. Wilco was injured in the same IED attack as her and she fought to bring her home with her.

Now both are back in Bone Gap, Tennessee, where she grew up as an Irish Traveler, nomadic Irish people that came to the Unique protagonist Brynn Callahan is an injured ex-Marine that served three duties in the Middle East before being sent back home after an IED attack.

Not only that but it's a well-written story about the emotional and physical traumas of war for Brynn and Wilco. On a walk one day Wilco happens upon the body of a woman and that starts a cascading series of events that cross over across the Travelers and the other townspeople in the area, bringing back unwanted memories to Brynn and Wilco but also a renewed sense of purpose.
