Review Winner of three Hopwood awards at University of MichiganWinner of a Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown FellowshipWinner of the Katherine Anne Porter Prize for Fiction"Smith’s debut in the genre features snappy prose, a skillfully constructedplot, and a nicely detailed rendering of police work...Fans of procedurals should add Smith to their must-read lists."--Booklist starred review"Well-crafted...an insightful glimpse into the emotions and consequences of being a cancer survivor."--Publishers Weekly"Smith’s debut grabs you on the first page and makes you feel like you are right there in the middle of the action. The tension increases as the drama unfolds. It is well paced and will leave you anticipating her next book."--RT Book Reviews"Claire is a smart protagonist. [Silent City is] tight, well-written and tracked beautifully. I think that readers of Linda Fairstein will enjoy Carrie’s work. She, like Linda, does a great job of describing the city."--Bookreporter"The story flows well, the mix of people is amazing, and greed and lust walk among them. Ms. Smith makes the story believable."--Long and Short Reviews"This compelling debut kept me up all night. Crime fiction fans, take note: newcomer Carrie Smith belongs at the top of your to-be-read pile!"--New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub"Silent City grabs you from page one and doesn't let go. With a cast of characters whose conflicting interests come together in a seamless tapestry of dishonesty and deception, you'll be guessing until the tense conclusion of this incredibly taut tale. I can't wait to see what author Carrie Smith does next. She's got a new fan."--Maggie Barbieri, author of the Murder 101 Mysteries"Smith's New York is a real place and her story's a good one, but her true superpower is her ability to unravel the messy intricacies of peoples' interior lives. In Smith's work -- as in life -- there are no minor characters.--SJ Rozan, Edgar-winning author of Skin of the Wolf

I sometimes find it hard to connect with the protaganist in mystery novels, but that was not the case with Claire Codella! Her deeply layered character added much to the story as did the rest of Smith's characters. The plot kept me at the edge of my seat from the first page to the last, from Codella's own history as a cancer survivor to her investigation of the murder. I really could not put this book down and I suggest it to all mystery fans out there and anyone who wants an exciting read!
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. good reading By LAS Reviewer Claire is just returning to work after a long battle with cancer. The cancer almost won. She’s looking forward to coming back to her desk and settling back into the routine of the job. But she gets a phone call instead. She’s thrown right into the middle of a new murder case.Ms. Smith does a very good job of character building. Claire was a very competent cop who solved a very big case right before the cancer hit. Her boss doesn’t like her because it got her promoted and he was made to look like a fool. He’s got in for her.He sends her to help a new officer in homicide. The officer is gay and it doesn’t take long for the other boys to find out. They call him the Rainbow Dick. He’s a good cop, will do as he’s told, and he’s on Claire’s side. She might be the token female but he’s also the token gay cop.The more they interview people, the less they know. This is a complicated plot with lots of players. The author weaves the story, picks up another thread and weaves in and I ended up with no idea who the killer was. At the end I was beginning to suspect one of them but the other one flabbergasted me. What some people will do for money amazes me.The story flows well, the mix of people is amazing, and greed and lust walk among them. Ms. Smith makes the story believable even if it’s unpredictable. You’ll meet a lot of unethical people in this book. The sad truth is there are a lot of them in the world nowadays. At least the author gives them their comeuppance in this story. If only you could do that in real life.originally posted at long and short reviews
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A true page turner! By JRMM Carrie Smith’s “Silent City” is an arresting read! Smith and her cast of characters—led by Detective Claire Codella, newly back on the beat following a cancer diagnosis—will keep you guessing “who done it?" several times on the same page. Set in Manhattan, you’ll follow Codella as she delves into the lives of public school politicos…her fellow police officers…and a Broadway star all while trying to solve a particularly grisly pair of murders. Here’s hoping Smith has more in store for Codella in what I hope will become a series. TV Producers—take note!
