Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
As in her last romantic mystery, Still Waters , Hoag creates a pair of lovers who are so awful that they deserve each other. But this time she factors in an offensive theme: bad boys are to be tolerated, but bad girls are to be raped, mutilated and strangled. The "bad boy" is the hero, horror writer Jack Boudreaux. With antics like crashing a Corvette and swatting a smarmy evangelist preacher with a bag of fish, Jack charms Laurel Chandler. Laurel has returned to her hometown, Bayou Breaux, La., to lick her wounds after she blew a case involving child sexual abuse, lost her public prosecutor's job and suffered a breakdown. But matters are grim on the home front, where a serial killer is haunting young women, and Savannah, Laurel's man-loving sister, is becoming increasingly unstable. Despite Laurel's anguish over losing her child abuse case, her reaction to Savannah's problem--also rooted in abuse by a stepfather--is, "If I'd known, I don't think I would have come back now." Eventually Savannah sniffs around the wrong man and is murdered. Then Laurel is all tears and determination to find the killer.

Do yourself a BIG favor and get another book!!,
This review is from: Cry Wolf: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
The only reason this book got one star is because there's no option to give it a zero or a minus. The over reviews were totally correct; Tami Hoag needs to seriously consider what type of book she is writing. I will say that I am at least somewhat biased since I don't typically like romance type books. If you are you may enjoy this book. Even with that though I do feel the book drags on and on. If you are looking for a good suspense though, this is defiantly NOT the book you want!!

Disappointed - not the mystery thriller I expected,
By
This review is from: Cry Wolf: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I gave up half way through - way too much I love you - No I hate you sappy romance and pathetic sex sequences. By mid-book there was no murder mystery thatI had expected. Not worth the time it takes to get to the point. Tami Hoag should just stick with the murder mystery stuff and forget the romance - or at list keep it to a minimum.

Cry Wolf,
By "scnse2" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cry Wolf: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
This book isn't sure if it wants to be a love story or a crime thriller. There is too much focus on the main characters blossoming relationship and not enough detail on the murders and murderer.
