HTML:The scream heard by no one is the deadliest.
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....

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.

A page turner. Tami Hoag describes Louisiana bayou country so vividly you can feel the humidity and smell the swamp. Attorney Laurel Chandler, burnt out attorney, returns to her home rural parish to lick her wounds and restore her soul. Returning home isn't the sanctuary she desires as old issues still test her. Hoag creates a tangled web of deceit, characters who are not as they seem to be, images of violence so horrifying to make you stop and make sure your doors are locked. ( )
As shared when I read "Lucky's Lady" (Doucet #2) by Tami Hoag, this novel also reminded me of my own visits to Louisiana...From previous review "When I lived in Houston, TX for a short time, we would sometimes go over to Louisiana and in various small towns, one could hear the sharing of conversation in Cajun French. Conversations always seemed a little more heartfelt as one would listen. For anyone that is familiar, this book will strike a beautiful chord. For anyone not familiar, one will find an introduction to a rich heritage...You will not be disappointed."
The story combines many layers of family relationships and family secrets and a poignant view of the suffering of children of abuse long after their childhood years end. (less) ( )
Laurel Chandler is a disturbed prosecutor coming home from Georgia for some R&R after her own "cry wolf" incident. She needs some emotional healing, but gets caught up in a serial killer drama instead. The killer is playing games with her, singling her out by slipping her trophies from the dead girls found in the swamp. First - if you are a Tami Hoag fan, be sure to read this book BEFORE reading "A Thin Dark Line" - she reveals both who the killer is and who his victims were. All in all, if you can take the drippy romance with a grain of salt, this is one terrific read you won't want to miss. ( )
