Review: Laura Cardinal is Back!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have been awaiting a new Laura Cardinal novel for a while now and, when I read CRY WOLF was coming, I intended to take my time and savor each and every word. Second page in, the plan shot out the window and the breakneck pace was on! J. Carson Black weaves an intricate tale with absolutely no wasted words or pages. To say Laura is a compelling character is an understatement; her expertise, her personality, her knowledge, and her straight-on approach to homicide investigations make her more human to the reader than one might expect from a hard-when-she-needs-to-be detective. If this is your first introduction to the character, I envy you the discovery. If you have followed Laura from the start, you will welcome back an old friend!
