Summary
In the rural parishes of Louisiana's French Triangle, young women are disappearing one by one, only to turn up on the banks of the bayou, strangled and cast aside where they are sure to be found. But there is one trophy the killer prizes above all others, one woman who must be silenced forever....
Attorney Laurel Chandler did not come back to Bayou Breaux to seek justice. That once-burning obsession had destroyed her credibility, her career, her marriage - and nearly her sanity. But when a ruthless predator strikes too close to home, she's lured into a perverse game from which there may be no escape. Once before, Laurel's cries against a monstrous evil went unanswered. Who will listen now?

Ok, not what I expected
I like this author but didn't realise this particular book was more romance than crime. will have to triple check description next time as I only like her crime books and this element didn't kick off until near the end. not into romance at all. narrator is great though.

The weakness of the lead is astounding.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Despite the jaw dropping attitude to child abuse by the lead character I stuck with it and generally enjoyed the story. Bit too much romance for me and I would not have missed several hours being cut out.
If you’ve listened to books by Tami Hoag before, how does this one compare?
Whilst I have not checked, I would imagine this is fairly early in Ms Hoag's foray into crime. More of a romance novel with family dynamics and southern 'manners' featuring heavily. Personally I prefer the more crime based books albeit there is always some romantic elements.
Can't say I am often surprised at the outcome, but I still enjoy this type of book, not ,ucl thinking involved and great to have on whilst I do chores, cooking etc.
What about Joyce Bean’s performance did you like?
she is good with the male voices. Found it easy to distinguish between characters.
Could you see Cry Wolf being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
sorry don't really watch TV
Any additional comments?
I could not understand the weakness of the lead character. For someone who was seemingly a prosecuting Attourney and whose downfall was a child abuse case, she appeared to overlook events in her own life, pretending outwardly nothing happened. She was intolerant of the behaviour of a victim and appeared to have no understanding of the effect of abuse when the victim was grown.
She was pathetically needy especially for the affection of her mother, a cold hearted vacuous woman all for appearances. I don't know of the American South is really like this, other reviews suggest it is, however, if it is, I am glad I don't live there. It's all about surface appearances, more snobbish than England was 100 years ago.
having said that, I almost felt the humidity and smelt the smell described as it was very well described.

A slow burner.
It took me a while to warm to the start of this book, but it was the character traits and their foibles that irked me. What was happening was that I was becoming enveloped in their situations.
As the story progressed, plot and sub-plot developed, the layers of deep hatred and manipulation started to shine through.
It is, in effect, a love story wrapped in a thriller. I'm not normally one who intentionally goes for a book like this, but it was thoroughly enjoyable.
I look forward to hearing more of Tami Hoag.
