I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Her Last Cry is an ideal story for readers who enjoy an edge-of-your-seat, hard-hitting, complex mystery. This is the third book in the Detective Delaney Pace series, which has become a favorite of mine. Hutchins takes her readers on a chilling and twisted journey that keeps them guessing until the final page.
Reeling from the events of their previous case, Delaney and Leo desired some downtime. However, their desires were shattered when a call for a wellness check led them to a murder scene. The victim had aspirations of climbing the political ladder all the way to the White House.
At first it appears as if a night of passion went wrong, but evidence indicated murder. The questions of why and who were at the forefront of Delaney and Leo's minds. The murder of their main suspect only added to the complexity of the situation.
Talk about intense! Her Last Cry kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The suspense was relentless, never giving me a moment to relax. The numerous twists and turns guarantee a page-turning experience as one tries to piece together the myriad of puzzles.
Along their career path, Delaney and Leo made enemies determined to destroy them. In this installment we see the lengths to which such an enemy would go to destroy their reputation. From the start of the series, readers are made aware of the intense attraction between Delaney and Leo. Because of their work relationship, a personal, intimate connection was off-limits—at least, that's what they told themselves. Despite being a strong, determined, and independent woman, insecurities cast a shadow over her life. These insecurities fed her fear of moving beyond a professional relationship with Leo.
The numerous subplots can be overwhelming; however, Hutchins masterfully intertwines them all into the main mystery. The end result an intriguing story that was difficult to put down.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
