Life for Amelia Winn hasn’t been the same since she was involved in a tragic accident while at work. After the accident, She started hitting the bottle which has caused her to lose her job, husband (divorce) and daughter.
Amelia now spends most of her days with her trusted companion/hearing dog, Stitch. She is determined to get her life together, but the day of her job interview she finds a dead body. She learns that the deceased is one of ex coworkers. Who would do this to her ex coworker? As the murder investigation begins, Amelia discovers that the murderer could be too close for comfort.
This is the second book I have read by Author Heather Gudenkauf, and she doesn’t disappoint. One of the things I love about Heather’s writing is her ability to capture a scene with her words. If she writes about a garden – I can guarantee you will smell the scent of the flowers coming from the book.
I guess that’s a tad bit dramatic… but you get what I’m trying to say.
Not A Sound is a story that pulls you, in the beginning, and holds your attention while the story unravels at an exciting pace. If you are looking for a story that will stay with you after you have read it – pick up a copy of Not A Sound by Heather Gudenkauf.

About Heather Gudenkauf
Heather Gudenkauf is the Edgar Award nominated, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Weight of Silence, These Things Hidden and Not A Sound.
Heather was born in Wagner, South Dakota, the youngest of six children. At one month of age, her family returned to the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota where her father was employed as a guidance counselor and her mother as a school nurse. At the age of three, her family moved to Iowa, where she grew up. Having been born with a profound unilateral hearing loss (there were many evenings when Heather and her father made a trip to the bus barn to look around the school bus for her hearing aids that she often conveniently would forget on the seat beside her), Heather tended to use books as a retreat, would climb into the toy box that her father’s students from Rosebud made for the family with a pillow, blanket, and flashlight, close the lid, and escape the world around her. Heather became a voracious reader and the seed of becoming a writer was planted.
Heather Gudenkauf graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in elementary education, has spent her career working with students of all ages and continues to work in education as a Title I Reading Coordinator.
Heather lives in Iowa with her family and a very spoiled German Shorthaired Pointer named Lolo. In her free time Heather enjoys spending time with her family, reading and hiking. She is currently working on her next novel.
