This is book number #3 in the Detective Delaney Pace series. I highly recommend this series! There have been so many twists and turns, and I cannot wait to see where it goes next!

When Delaney Pace was a child, she witnessed the murder of her beloved father but cannot remember who the killer was no matter how hard she has tried to. Will she ever discover the truth?

Delaney is back in her hometown working as a detective. She is raising her niece, Kateena, who was orphaned after her parents were killed. She’s also looking after the orphaned teenage daughter or her childhood friend.

Delaney is called to a remote cabin when a woman is reported missing. Finding her lifeless body, Delaney must determine who her killer was and why she was targeted.

When a colleague of the victim turns up dead, Delaney suspects the cases are linked. DNA evidence from the scene shocks Delaney but she is even more eager to solve this case when someone important to her disappears. Will she find the killer before anyone else fall victim?

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Publisher: Bookouture
Genre: General Fiction (Adult), Mystery & Thrillers

Her Last Cry is the 3rd book in the Detective Delaney Pace series by Pamela Fagan Hutchins. I am absolutely obsessed with this series!!!! I can't wait for the next book to be released!

This book was so good that I could not put it down! Set in small-town Wyoming, this book was a fast read and kept me on the edge of my seat! I thought the story was fabulous, filled with unexpected twists and turns. The characters were great and I loved getting to know them. I look forward to reading the future books in the series! I need more!!!

This is definetly a must-read for 2024!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of Her Last Cry, the third novel to feature Deputy Investigator Delaney Pace of Kearny County, Wyoming Sheriff’s Office.

Delaney and Interim Sheriff Leo Palmer are asked to do a welfare check in a remote cabin. Annabeth Dillon, a prominent environmental lawyer with political aspirations, has been reported missing from the cabin. They soon find that Annabeth is not missing but dead in an apparent sex game gone wrong. More deaths follow, culminating in the kidnap of some close friends.

I thoroughly enjoyed Her Last Cry, which is a tense, action packed read with never a dull moment. I’m not quite sure where to start as there are so many twists and interconnecting relationships that keep the reader furiously turning the pages to see what will come next. What I do know is that it finishes on if not a cliffhanger then a big hook for the next in series. Bring it on, the hook has whetted my appetite for more.

The novel starts with Annabeth’s murder and what seems like a quick solution, but then it gets complicated as other players and agendas start to appear. There is a fair amount of misdirection that I fell for, making the solution a real surprise and a neat twist on my guesses. Needless to say Delaney’s not so dead brother has a role in proceedings, but perhaps not as prominent as previous outings.

The novel is not just about the investigation as it features family and friendship as well. Delaney and Leo are still fighting their mutual attraction with the author inserting a neat wrench in proceedings in a timely manner. It made me laugh. Meanwhile their families get caught separately in the machinations of others. In Delaney’s case I think it was particularly well done as I found it tense and sad.

Her Last Cry is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

This was a very faced paced thriller and was a lot of fun to read but I made a slight mistake in not reading the first two books first. I figured I could read a synopsis of the first two in hopes that would give me the important information that I needed and that was a mistake. There were parts of the book that didnt mean as much sense because I missed information from the first two. With that being said read the first two first! Other than that the book was really good and kept me on my toes. It had an interesting plot and that kept me wanting to read on. I will say there were moments of the book where I felt like the section was just fluff and didnt contribute to the story. But all around it was a pretty good thriller!

“ Her Last Cry" by Pamela Fagan Hutchins is a riveting addition to the Detective Delaney Pace series. As a reader who eagerly devoured the first two books in quick succession, the third installment continues to deliver on the high standards set by the author.

The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of Annabeth Dillon, a much-loved figure in Kearney, Wyoming. Detective Delaney Pace is called in to investigate, and the plot quickly thickens as Annabeth's lifeless body is discovered in a remote woodland cabin. The tension escalates with the revelation of dark ties and a mysterious figure at the scene, setting the stage for a gripping and suspenseful narrative.

Hutchins skillfully weaves a tale of murder, secrets, and a twisted killer on the loose. The intricate plot unfolds with unexpected twists, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. The author's ability to create a sense of urgency and maintain a brisk pace adds to the overall intensity of the story.

The character development of Detective Delaney Pace continues to impress, and her determination to unravel the truth, even when faced with personal danger, adds depth to the narrative. The exploration of the victims' lives and the potential connection between the murders enhances the complexity of the plot.

As the story progresses, the revelation of DNA evidence belonging to someone Delaney knows raises the stakes, creating a gripping sense of suspense. The author adeptly balances the mystery with a sense of emotional resonance, making "Her Last Cry" a thoroughly satisfying read.

In this third installment, Pamela Fagan Hutchins reaffirms her skill in crafting compelling mysteries that captivate readers. "Her Last Cry" earns a well-deserved five stars, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Detective Delaney Pace's journey. Hutchins continues to excel in delivering suspenseful narratives with a perfect blend of mystery and emotion. I love the character development and am looking forward to a blossoming romance (I hope!)
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to Ms Hutchins, the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After a quick celebration for her interim Sheriff's, Leo's, birthday, Delaney and Leo are called to a secluded cabin for a wellness check on Annabeth Dillon, a prominent area resident who may be running for Senate. Upon arrival, they find Ms. Dillon murdered and many items at the scene are not making sense. With another prominent citizen as her main backer, this leads to more questions for the team. Meanwhile, in her personal life, Delaney is filing to adopt her niece and her recently deceased friend's daughter... and someone is trying to sabotage her efforts. This is a great mystery series - however, the will they/wont' they relationship struggle between Delaney and Leo is a bit distracting from an excellent book. I hope in Book 4 this gets settled so the mystery storylines really stand out. Thank you to Bookouture for an advanced reader of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

This is the 3rd book in the Detective Delaney Pace series, and it's still SO good! Yes, you have to read all the books in the series. There is a storyline connected to all the books, and it's the best part of this series, so make sure to read all 3 books!! Delaney and Leo are on the hunt to find out who murdered Annabelle and how is her death connected to Delaney's past. Excellent book and series!!

Wow, this was a very good book. The suspense and emotion was very high in this one.
It gets really personal for Delaney and the girls. Leo is trying to decide his future. Jefe is still on the loose or is he. Loved every minute of this one. I can’t wait for the next one to see what the future brings.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read and review this one.

HOLY GUACAMOLE‼️

What a fantastic twisted whiplash of a ride. Every single book in this series got better and better. Wow. I can’t wait for book 4.

Delaney Pace is such a total bada$$. And Leo better get it together. 😉

I love how she is such a great mother when it was literally thrust upon her. I’m a huge fan of her surrounding people and I just know that more is coming…no body. Enough said.

This is a must read for crime thriller fans who love strong female leads! RUN.

I thought this 3rd book would have been the last of the serie, but it doesn't seem like it.. Beware, it ends on a cliffhanger. Otherwise, it was a nice serie, loved the characters, even if at times I was a bit confused.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for access to this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Explosive from start to finish!

Book 3 in the Deputy Investigator Delaney Pace series & Hutchins weaves a brilliant story building on the last 2 books, and in anticipation of what is next for our main characters Delaney & Leo.

Full of action, mystery, you won’t want to put it down.

Have enjoyed the previous books in the Delaney Pace series and this one hit the mark. Plenty of suspense throughout and likeable characters. Look forward to the next one. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

I started this book within seconds of finishing book 2. I had to know if they caught Jefe. The murders were committed without revealing an abundance of clues, so this time I didn't try to presume who was responsible. Some emotional scenes, but plenty of action. Enough twists to keep you guessing. I now have to wait for book 4!!

Book 3 in the series with Delaney Pace and it's another entertaining and fast paced read. I am loving the Montana setting and the developing characterisation, especially Delaney. She is smart, determined and doesn't suffer fools gladly. There is plenty of suspense, tension and that wonderful ending leaving me eager to read book 4, if there is one! Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

I was drawn into the investigation of the murder A book you can't put down. And sometimes I even had to remind myself to breathe. If you're looking for a mystery with relateable characters, this is the book to read.

This is the third book in the Delaney Pace series, and just as good as the first two. There are plenty of twists to keep you turning the pages to find out what is going to happen next. I love the relationship between Delaney and Leo and can’t wait for the next book to see what their next adventure leads them. Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for my arc.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I really enjoyed the second book in this series and also really enjoyed Book Three. Great storyline and great characters. Would recommend.

I've read books 1, 2 and 3 in this series, and even if it's possible to read them as stand-alones, it's definitely better to read them in sequence. As usual with this author, the books are well written and easy to read. The setting and the characters are fantastic, as always, but the most important is the numerous points of suspense through all of these three books. Add a little humor, and you have excellent entertainment.

I’m sad and disappointed, not in this book but because this is last one currently available and I NEED more Delaney Pace! This series has become a favourite and I can’t wait for the next one. Delaney and her crew feel like family at this point. This book was read at breakneck speed. I couldn’t put it down. I think this was the best one yet! Terror and twists and turn galore. A must read, stay up all night can’t put it down thrill ride.
I need more!!!
