A Cry in the Dark: A woman on the run, murder in a small town (Carly Moore Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition by Denise Grover Swank



 

Book Excerpt:

"A woman fleeing her past finds more than she bargains for in a mystery romance series by New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank.

The Carly Moore Mystery series is now complete.

With the ink barely dry on her new identity, Carly Moore wants to disappear…but fate has other plans.

With a broken-down car and next to nothing in her bank account, Carly is stuck in a Smoky Mountain town that time has forgotten. Drum, Tennessee, is riddled with secrets, and outsiders are eyed with distrust. Still, it isn't until she witnesses a cold-blooded murder in a darkened parking lot that she realizes she's escaped one nightmare, only to land in another.

As the clock ticks down and more bodies pile up, Carly doesn't know who to trust. If she doesn't stop the killers, they just might stop 
her…permanently."

Review:
"A Cry in the Dark" by Denise Grover Swank

My Sentiments:

'A Cry In The Darkness' is a good read that gives the reader a bit of mystery, suspense, and romance. It happened in this small town named Drum, Tennessee, where Caroline Blakely just happened to come upon a rural setting where she had been on the run from her father. Caroline [Carly] never thought she would be so 'involved with secrets from her past' as she passes through this town, only stopping due to car trouble. Not only will there be drama as you read through this scary story, but be ready for many problems, from drugs, lynchpins, kingpins, crime, corruption, secrets, murder, and so much more, before one gets to the end. This story will keep one guessing as you turn the pages to see what is coming next for Carly as she is now having her car towed, finding a job as a waitress...having to get a room at a motel...and, oh yeah, then she hears fighting and then witnessing a young boy being killed. I will stop here and say that is only some of what happens in this story of many twists and turns. Yes, there will be some good people in the read and some not so good, that will keep one attention as you continue through this 'whodunnit' read.

Overall, 'A Cry In The Dark' was a good story. There will be a series as the story continues with many characters from Drum, TN.
