Cry Wolf: Marshals of Montana Series by Kathi Oram Peterson-Book Review


 Book Summary

Dania Blackwolf is bursting with excitement: after years of disappointment, she’s just learned she and her husband are one step closer to having their dreams come true. Eager to tell her husband, Matthew, about her findings, she returns home from her nightshift at the hospital—but what awaits her there is no dream. It’s a nightmare. Matthew has been murdered, and Dyani is the only witness to the masked intruder. With no one to corroborate her story, she is the prime suspect.

When U.S. Marshal Brett Rollins’s best friend, Matthew, was murdered, Dania, was convicted of the crime. But it’s never added up for Brett. Now, three years later when Dyani escapes prison and Brett finds her, he is faced with a life-altering choice: send a woman he believes to be innocent back to prison or help her find his friend’s killer. Determined to see justice done, Brett goes rogue. The unlikely allies embark on a dangerous quest to uncover the truth. But what they discover is a plot more far-reaching than they ever imagined and a truth that will test everything they thought they knew.

My Review

What if you were convicted of a murder you didn't commit? This is why the main character Dania finds herself in prison accused of killing her own husband but she is innocent. Readers know this from the beginning and you're on pins and needles as Dania escapes and tries to prove she wasn't the killer. This is a suspense thriller that you can't put down. 

I loved how Dania got the help of her late husband's best friend Brett, a US Marshall. As the pieces start unfolding as to who was truly behind all of the schemes and murders, the suspense and intrigue build. Author Kathi Oram Peterson does a great job of leaving tiny clues along the way to help you piece everything together. 

The romance is more subtle in this novel and has a small role. This was OK for me as life and death seemed a lot more important than romance. It was nice though, how Dania and Brett grew closer as they learned more about each other and how tragic both of their lives had been. Animals also play a nice part in this story with Jasper, Brett's adorable police dog, and the lone wolf that kept showing up. There is a significant meaning behind the wolf but you'll need to read this novel to find out why. Cry Wolf is a fantastic start to this new series of Marshals of Montana.
