Their Angel's Cry: A Totally Compelling and Jaw-Dropping Crime Thriller

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Their Angel's Cry, book two in the Chief Maggie Riley series, picks up from where book one ended. Most of the residents of Coyote Cove hate her, but Maggie doesn't allow the hatred to deter her from carrying out her duties. It didn't help that one of their own died because of her previous case. They blamed her despite it not being her fault. Luckily, this is the case, as she faces the undaunting task of unravelling a mind-boggling situation.Her discovery of three corpses in the mountains, where the cause of death, was a mystery within itself. However, what was even more shocking was the baby and dog she discovered near the crime scene. 1. Why were the victims on the mountain? 2. How did the baby survive?Their Angel's Cry was a brilliant addition to the series. In this instalment, Maggie's detective skills played a prominent role. She gained a wonderful support system throughout the investigation, one of which came from an unexpected source. The mystery in this instalment was quite twisty, and it left me guessing from start to finish. This time around, figuring out the who, why and how proved a challenge. This featured many suspects, who all appeared to have a motive. Funny enough, it was the one person whom I did not suspect that turned out to be the villain. Talk about a plot twist.If you love police procedurals, I strongly encourage you to pick up this series. It has everything that lovers of this genre would love. A well-written mystery, a strong female and great supporting cast.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
