One of the best performing books by Susan McBride is Walk into Silence. Walk into Silence introduces the reader to Jo Larsen, a police detective who works for the Plainfield police department. Upon learning that there was a missing wife, Jo presumes that the wife is a runaway housewife. However, upon conducting his investigation, she soon discovers that despite the fact that the wife had so many reasons to leave her husband, there was a very high chance that she never ran away from her marriage and home. Jo Larsen is thirty something year old detective who has been working for the local police department in Plainfield. After working for quite some time in Dallas, Jo is transferred to Plainfield. Initially, Jo has presumed that one Jennifer Dielman was just a married woman who had just decided to pack her bags and leave.

However, as she got to know much more about Jennifer, the more she understood that Jennifer did not just decide to pack her bags and leave. Just as the investigation was kicking off, Jenifer’s body is found in one of the local quarries. After the autopsy had been conducted on the body, it revealed that Jennifer was killed. There are so many questions that need answers such as was Jennifer still stricken by the grief of the sudden death of her younger son? Furthermore, was Jenifer dealing with a great amount of stress, which resulted from the death of her younger son? Was Jennifer really, the type of person who would easily walk away from her marriage? Jo was not happy with the type of answers that she was getting from Dr. Kevin Harrison, Jenifer’s current husband or Jenifer’s neighbor, Lisa Burton.
