I like this series set out west it’s overall a good read although I think the story needs less characters and amore clear cut storyline
Third in this series featuring Delaney Pace. Another fast paced thriller with many twists and turns,will the mystery of who killed her dad finally be revealed?
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5 stars, rounded to 4)
Her Last Cry, the third installment in an ongoing series, proves to be a compelling mystery that skillfully weaves a complex web of subplots and characters. As a newcomer to the series, the initial disorientation caused was a little confusing, but I adapted quickly enough. In fact, after that first chapter, I quickly realized that I didn't need much prior knowledge at all, which I appreciated - it meant the book could stand strong in its own right without relying on a story already told.
From the outset, Her Last Cry immerses readers in a multifaceted narrative, introducing numerous subplots that intertwine with the central mystery. Delaney and Leo both I loved. While the abundance of storylines occasionally makes the narrative feel a bit overwhelming and confusing, the intricacy of the mystery itself adds a layer of intrigue that keeps the reader hooked.
The characters in the novel feel authentic, and the emphasis on relationships, especially those between Delaney, Kat, and Carrie, as well as among friends, adds a touching and relatable dimension to the story. The dynamics between characters are well-explored, and the complexities of trust are masterfully portrayed, keeping readers on their toes as alliances and motives remain elusive. The mystery of Annabeth's death was truly compelling, and especially after we meet her early on in the book, we're particularly shocked right at the end.
This constant uncertainty about whom to trust adds a fascinating layer to the narrative. The suspense and tension created by this ambiguity contribute significantly to the overall appeal of the book, making it a page-turner for those who relish the unpredictability of a good mystery.
While the multitude of subplots and characters may be challenging to navigate, the payoff in the form of a gripping mystery and well-drawn characters makes Her Last Cry a worthwhile read. I think I'll be picking up those other two books sometime in the near future.
This is third book of the Detective Delaney Pace Series. One again, we have so many intense moments with twist and turns at times it was hard to figure out who was connected to who. In this book we do finally get some answers, but not to every question. Is it really over for this small town in Wyoming. Will sparks finally starting to fly between her and Leo, the now acting Sheriff? If you like intense thrillers, with a touch of romance, this is for you.
I’ve enjoyed the series so far. But just as a heads up, be prepared as this book also needs on a cliffhanger!
Just love this series! Can’t wait for what comes next.
I love how Delaney is a badass who takes no crap from anyone.
I’m very big on strong female characters and the male characters who understand how to handle them.
This series is a must ready.
Third book in the series starring the wonderful Delaney Pace. She does not waste too much time on words, but she makes up for it by her actions.
Killers bigger and stronger than her? They won't stop her from coming after them and fight them with all she has. Even injuries are things to be cared about later, after the culprit is being put behind bars, but when she has to direct her attention elsewhere, she will give this priority too.
No matter how hard killers try to throw her of their scent, she will find them. There is one very slippery one though...
Family and good friends come first for Delaney. Will she ever find time for love?
Leo was sent to the village with a special assignment. Will he be able to come up with the desired result?
Another strong story, with a tough female deputy investigator, but under that iron cast exterior she has a heart of gold. 5 stars
Thank you
This is the third book in the Author's Detective Delaney Pace series - I would recommend reading the previous books to set the characters and storyline in place
When a much admired , local activist , Annabeth Dillon is found murdered in an isolated cabin after going missing in a snow storm questions arise - why was she at the cabin ? was she meeting someone ? who killed her ?
When a colleague of Annabeth is also found murdered soon after Delaney is convinced the murders are linked
Dna evidence left at the scene is soon identified - she knows the killer . But someone is determined to hamper the investigation and throw obstacles in her path ...........she must risk everything to bring the killer to justice even at the expense of her own life
We finally see the culmination of the previous books storylines , where everything comes to together .......... or do we ?
This is an entertaining read , full of twists and turns , a real page turner - I hope this is not the end of Delaney's story as I have enjoyed reading about her path to adoptive mother/detective leaving her old life behind
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
Her Last Cry (Detective Delaney Pace Book 3) by Pamela Fagan Hutchins is the third book in this series, and it does not disappoint.
A young woman has vanished into thin air. Detective Delaney Pace is called in when Annabeth Dillon is reported missing during a snowstorm. The search leads to a remote woodland cabin, and Delaney is distraught to find Annabeth’s lifeless body on the bed, dark red ties gripping her tight, long black hair covering her face. Searching the scene, she spots a dark figure at the window and rushes to give chase, but he gets away. Could it have been the killer?
I really like all the covers in this series; the pictures set the stage for the story.
Delaney is quite tenacious and won't let up until she finds justice for the victims she encounters.
Again, this book left on a bit of a cliffhanger. As a reader, you will need to decide if you want to continue with the story to learn more about the character and her past.
Overall, it is a good story with a good plot, suspense, and edge-of-your-seat action that a reader likes in crime dramas.
I would recommend this book and this author. I hope there are more books to come.

DNF. 5 pages in, the female lead is lusting after the male lead, then spots a one-night-stand behind him, that she cheated on her fiancé with. Nope, not for me, and this is a woman trying to be a role model to 2 vulnerable female teens?
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my approval to read and review this book.
Wow, another roller coaster of a book! The dynamics between Delaney and Leo is better than the last book!! I love how they work well together. The story is action packed with plenty of twists and turns with a climactic ending!! More please. I will recommend this book.
I love this series. I hope the series continues! I couldn't put it down and didn't want to do anything besides read and find out what was going to happen.
There is suspense, murder very action packed and twists and turns was awesome.
I recommend the book along and i will be looking to see if this author has written other books. This was a new to me author and the writing is great.
Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.
In book 3 we notice a change in Delaney, a softness and the love she has for her niece, and Callie.
A wellness check in the mountains shows murder and she is assaulted, with snowy weather
around them, an.the assailant fleeing.
The ending of becoming a family was great and maybe a new job for Delaney
This series has it all adventure, murder, love and family,that readers will enjoy.
Given arc by Net Galley and bookouter for my voluntary review.
Wow! Great book and series! I can't wait for more! I've read the first three books in one sitting! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series! This book like the others had a bit of everything! It had high suspense, intrigue, action packed, murder, serial killers, kidnapping, a great who done it, great police work, high speed chases, big shoot outs, great plot twist and some really crazy twist and turns! The storyline was so very interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book and series! They are well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me! I can't wait for more in this series! This is definitely one of my favorite new to me authors!
