Meredith reviewed Silent Night by Nell Pattison
This is terrible
2 stars
"To my interpreter friends, I’m sorry for taking liberties with your job."
I feel like this quote from the acknowledgements is insufficient to describe the astonishingly bad depiction of interpreters in this book. It's a barely passable murder mystery, but the deafness is layered on like buttercream and the interpreter role is 180 degrees from actual interpreters. I finished this book out of pure stubbornness.
