Another Hoag winner,
This review is from: A Thin Dark Line (Mass Market Paperback)
A Thin Dark Line returns to the French Triangle, the setting of two earlier books, Lucky's Lady and Cry Wolf. Those of you who have not already read Cry Wolf may want to read it before reading Thin Dark Line as the killer and the victims in Cry Wolf are revealed in Thin Dark Line.A few years after the Bayou Strangler's reign of terror is ended, Bayou Breaux again terrorized by a killer. After a prominent businesswoman's mutilated body is found, her accused stalker is investigated and arrested for the murder. Charges of corruption in the Sheriff's Office, tainted evidence, and a legal technicality set Marcus Renard free. Renard now focuses his obsession on Sheriff's Deputy Annie Broussard, the officer who found the body. Broussard feels an obligation to the murdered woman, and to the woman's child, to find and punish her killer. Deciding to use Renard's obsession to get close enough to him to prove his guilt, Annie is caught in a dangerous crossfire. Her only ally is Detective Nick Fourcade, a rogue cop with a reputation of corruption and violence. Annie can't be sure if Fourcade is helping her or using her, since it was his investigation, his evidence, and his mistake that allowed a brutal murderer go free. Fourcade's only hope of redeeming himself and his reputation is in the hands of the woman most likely to die next.

Thoroughly enjoyable,

This review is from: A Thin Dark Line (Mass Market Paperback)
Harrowing and smoldering by turns, I loved reading--experiencing--this book. The setting was fantastic, the characters gripping. The story and plot were woven together with enough spice and chill and flair to truly hold my interest. I've just discovered Tami Hoag with "Guilty as Sin", but I enjoyed "A Thin Dark Line" even more. Similar to the former, I could only read a few chapters at a time; it's rather like eating very rich food: a taste is stupendous, it fills you up quickly, too much is a shock to the system, but it always leaves you wanting more. Excellent.

Darkness Prevails,
By Rhogary (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Thin Dark Line (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first Tami Hoag book I ever read, and what brought me to check out city, were three things: the Louisiana setting (no place like it); the packaging (red attracts me like a bull); and that enchanting storyline on the back cover. From page one, I was captivated by Annie's courage and wit. I love a determined female protaganist who fights for what she wants, and Nick--well, let's just say, we need more men like him. A murderer goes free based on a technicality, and a town is embroiled in a lynching type of mentality. Annie, is a straight-arrow deputy, whose loyalties are challenged when she is forced to arrest fellow officer, Nick, who is beating the acquitted murderer, Marcus to a pulp in a darkened alley. The story is awesome, especially when set against a Cajun background, and with that spicy, local flavor thrown into the mix, how could you go wrong?
