A woman fleeing her past finds more than she bargains for in a new suspense series by New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank.
A woman on the run with no one to trust.
With the ink barely dry on her new identity, Carly Moore just wants to disappear…but fate has other plans.
Broken down car, next to nothing in her bank account, Carly is stuck in a Smoky Mountain town that time has forgotten. Drum is riddled with secrets and outsiders are eyed with distrust. Still, it isn’t until she witnesses a cold-blooded murder in a darkened parking lot, that she realizes she’s escaped one nightmare, only to land in another.
As the clock ticks down and more bodies pile up, Carly doesn’t know who to trust. If she doesn’t stop the killers, they just might stop her…permanently.

Why did I add A Cry in the Dark to my bookshelf?
I have heard wonderful things about Denise Grover Swank’s writing, so I jumped at the chance to pick this one up as a freebie. It has sat on my virtual bookshelf for almost 2 years, gathering dust. Hopefully, I will get to this one before another 2 years go by. The reviews look really positive, and I do want to try this author’s writing soon.
I am so sorry that this post is late! I have no excuse and just got my days mixed up.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
That’s a new to me one! Hope you love it once you get to read it!
Glad everything is okay! I was worried when I didn’t see the post at the usual time. Hope you have a GREAT day!
I’ve never read this author before. I hope this book is a good one.
It sounds like something I would read. I recognize the author but haven’t tried her books yet.
That’s a new one to me.
I’ve enjoyed some other books by this author and this one looks good too! I’ll have to pick it up too – and it will probably sit on my shelf for a few years!
