We are again with Det. Josette Fournier and Det. Bob Arnett. And another GREAT story that is a must read.

A woman emerges from the forest: bloody, dirty and sunburned. She is taken to the hospital and it is determined that she has amnesia. Jo and Bob question her and feel as if she is telling the truth. The DNA testing does nothing to prove (or find) her identity. Yet, the blood on her shirt is her daughter's of whom "Zoe" (the amnesia patient) cannot remember.

Later, "Zoe" is transferred to a nursing home and is visited by a man whom the reader thinks is someone she knows. Although "Zoe" doesn't see the man, she is spooked enough to flee the nursing home in a stolen car and with 2 stolen purses.

"Zoe" is really placing herself in danger. Jo is doing all she can to find "Zoe" before perhaps the wrong person does first.

A "stay up and finish book". MM Chouinard has created another fantastic thriller!

Many Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a fabulous read! Looking forward to the next in this series.

When it was mentioned that this was in the vein of The Silent Patient, which was one of the best reads for me this year, it sparked my interest, I didn't notice that this was book 3 in a series until I started reading it, but that didn't stop me. While I was missing some background, I do feel this book can be read without the others and still go back and read those.
This is half police procedural and half thriller and the combo works well. Zoe is found covered in blood coming out of the woods with no memory of what happened to her. The blood isn't hers but is her missing daughter's who she can't remember. When someone who claims to be her husband shows up, no matter what he says and does, she feels something is wrong. Where is her daughter and what is her life really like?
With the help of Detective Jo Fournier, who is working the case, Zoe will find out what really happened that night.
A solid book with solid characters, I will definitely be checking out the other books in this series.

This book kept me reading late into the night. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

MM Chouinard is one of my favourite authors, with Dancing girls being one of my top reads since joining netgalley! First off I didn’t realise I had missed the book in between dancing girls and this one (something that I quickly remedied this morning!)
Although a series, there is no reason why it can’t be stand alone - as there is very little links to previous books apart from the main characters!
This wasn’t as good as the dancing girls, but it was still pretty decent!
A woman , covered with blood - turns up with amnesia. Jo and her team tasked with finding out what happened. There isn’t much in the way of twists and turns, but it was easy to read and well written! I am now off to read the previous book, which means my ironing will have to wait!

this book is a must read so enjoyed very gripping a woman walks in to a shop covered in blood and does not remember anything detective Josette and bob are put on the case they name her Zoe until they know who she is , she finds out from Josette she has a daughter . then someone comes to the hospital and Zoe runs .detective Josette has her own problems as well its a brilliant read so recommend

Wow.. This book gripped me from the very first page until the very last page. I just couldn't put it down and when I had to put it down I couldn't wait to pick it up again! I would most definitely recommend this book to lovers of thrillers!

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is another entry into the "crime thriller with amnesia" genre. Part classic police procedural, part thriller from POV of the amnesiac heroine - and a few bits from POV probable murderer - that lets us follow the case from several very different angles. The author does a great job of developing the character of the lead female detective (her male partner, however, remains rather bland and non-descript), and also manages to very subtly turn what is initially a sympathetic character (the afore-mentioned amnesiac) into someone you would rather not have to deal with due to what is revealed bit by bit about their (lack of) morals.

I did feel the book as a whole was a bit too long for what it was, and the story lagged a bit, but the ending was very satisfying and well done. I would enjoy seeing how the author develops her female detective character further.

3.5 rounded up to 4

A woman comes out of the woods covered in blood, confused, and with no memory of what happened to her.
Does she have a daughter as the police claim?
Is she married?
Is someone after her?
These are things Marissa has to figure out. And fast.

Her daughter’s Cry is part police procedural, part domestic thriller. The writing is fantastic, and the storyline doesn't drag and therefore is easy to follow and hard to put down as we follow the narratives of the woman and the detectives.

This was a chilling case, its conclusion was insane and the actions of the perpetrator(s) are unsettling, so it was a relief to know a sane character’s opinion and reflection on all this craziness by the end.

This is a solid read for police procedural readers. I’m definitely curious to see where the author takes Jo Fournier in the next book.
