Stevens, and if this is an indication of her writing skills, I will read more from her. The story is well paced and uses the ability to sign as a second language, which must be interpreted by someone else (much like an unreliable witness in other mystery stories). It is in this "unreliability", that Stevens build tension and makes you wonder what exactly is going on with the characters in the story.The story is a relatively quick read once you get started, mainly because you want to see how it plays out...And it plays out by making you think about the manipulation of justice.

Stevens By Kevin Tipple While she has experience in family court as well as small claims, Jane Ciardi has never before interpreted in the criminal court. That will change today as her skills sign language interpreter are urgently needed as the usual interpreter is out because her husband had a heart attack. Sandra Blackmore, the remaining interpreter, plans on handling the deaf witnesses so she will voice as well as sign for them. She wants Jane to handle the witnesses that can hear. It will be a little easier on Jane as all she has do is sign when those witnesses testify so that those in the courtroom that are hearing impaired can understand what is happening in the trial.The case is emotionally charged as the assistant vice principal of the Cleveland School for the Death stands accused of the murder of the recently hired principal. While the assistant principal is deaf, the now deceased principal was not. The fact that somebody who was not deaf was hired to lead the school generated a lot of controversy with students and staff. That controversy resulted in intense media coverage. The situation has further escalated with the murder and subsequent trial as the media, as they usually do, are having a field day with the details of the murder case.A complicated murder case where everyone has their role to play in the short story Silent Witness by B. K. Stevens. This is a tightly woven intense read that was originally published in December 2010 in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine under the title Interpretation Of Murder. Not to be confused with the upcoming novel of the same name published by Black Opal Books, this short story is a Derringer Winner and a very good read.Material was picked up during the author's recent free read promotion.Kevin R.

Stevens has accomplished something rarely done: create an amateur detective without resorting to tried and true types, e.g., a Holmes clone, a priest-detective, a down and out PI who'd been kicked off the police force, a boozed up tough guy with a hidden soft streak, etc. Stevens's distinctive inadvertent sleuth, Jane Ciardi, a sign language interpreter, breaks these molds; her sign language expertise is integral to the story rather than an extraneous quirk or talent merely used to set her apart from other crime solvers.In short, when Ciardi is a late replacement to interpret during a trial for the murder of a principal at a school for the deaf, she alone knows another experienced interpreter is subtly altering the phrasing of some testimony to shift its emphasis, perhaps to alter the outcome of the trial. This, of course, presents Ciardi professional and conscience qualms and a choice of several possible responses. Though we do learn who the killer is, not all of the qualms and choices are resolved in this well told excellent story. One clue, in particular, was a bit to obvious for my taste, but that's a quibble.The Kindle version is well formatted, though a sufficient number of single quotation marks are italicized that they became a distraction for me.
