The unfortunate coup de grace comes in the form of a poorly resolved conclusion. Her overwritten narrative becomes burdened with repetition (the distraught parents' angst, the one-dimensional protagonists' self-destructive coupling), and she substitutes cliched internal monologues and emotional outbursts for real human feelings and motivations. Though Hoag provides occasional passages of genuine suspense, the intrigue here is never fully realized. Attempting to crack the case, feisty feminist Megan O'Malley-who hopes to become the first female field agent for the male-dominated Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension-finds herself paired with Mitch Holt, the town's love-scarred sheriff (and recovering alcoholic) who is facing assorted personal demons. The Norman Rockwell-esque community of Deer Lake, Minn., takes a turn toward Stephen King territory when the local lady doctor's son is snatched by a fiend who leaves enigmatic notes. All the other books I have listened to I enjoyed, that why I downloaded these two.Touted as the author's hardcover breakout novel (Hoag was the erstwhile bestselling star of Bantam's Loveswept romance series), this thriller, despite a compelling premise and several intriguing characters, ultimately disappoints. I think these two book were written to meet her publisher quota. If it would have I would not have wasted a credit on it. Mad Mad Mad, yes I probably should have read the reviews, and would have found out that this book was two parts. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Yes Guilty as Sin which I think she was either sick or being threaten to read
Have you listened to any of Jennifer Van Dyck’s other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes I have already listened to 6 other books and have enjoyed them, exception Guilty as Sin.
Would you ever listen to anything by Tami Hoag again? I am not a prude but I think it is laziness on the author part when sex is used as a filler Which I stopped listening to after the 4rth book because of contious sex between main characters. How many ways does the sex need to be written? Thought I was reading J B Robb.
