The Silencers: 02/04/25
The Silencers by Donald Hamilton (1962) is the fourth Matt Helm book. Matt is called to Juarez to meet with an agent that has important information. From there they are sent north into New Mexico on a vague clue: a city and a landmark. After the last two which were too drawn into the tension between Eric (Matt) and his wife/ex-wife, this one was nicely focused on the mystery itself. The clues are clear enough for the reader to follow along and maybe even figure things out before Matt and his cohort. Interestingly the locations mentioned in the book, except for the final destination, are all actual places. The route is laid out in a logical way and it feels like the author knew the area. The next book in the series is Murderers' Row (1962) Five stars Comments (0) |
