Jodi Taylor, best known for her Chronicles of St Mary’s series, takes a thrilling detour into the world of supernatural suspense with White Silence, the first book in the Elizabeth Cage series. Blending mystery, the paranormal, and Taylor’s trademark wit, White Silence is an engaging and fast-paced book that keeps the reader on edge from start to finish.
Elizabeth Cage isn’t just observant—she sees what others cannot and has spent her life trying to suppress her uncanny ability to see the thoughts, emotions, and intentions of those around her. Elizabeth’s world is turned upside down after her husband dies suddenly. In her grief, she lets her guard down—only to discover that there are powerful people who know exactly what she can do. And they want to use her skills for their own ends. As she is dragged into a shadowy world of secret organisations, hidden knowledge, and eerie phenomena, Elizabeth is forced to confront the truth about her abilities—and herself.
For those who enjoy supernatural thrillers with a strong, intelligent female lead, White Silence is a must-read. When you reach the final pages, you’ll be eager to see what happens next.

Just finished it again. So many twists and turns and having already read all three in the series, it is interesting how I interpret the events and Elizabeth Cage in White Silence differently to when I first read it. The last few chapters were disturbing to read, a roller coaster of emotions, but I love the banter between Cage and Jones.
Loved this. I am very confused about the alternative reality scenes but hope the next book will make things clearer. Very different from the St Mary's and Time Police books but equally brilliant.
