Wow! There is a lot to unpack in this story and the way things were weaved together brilliantly and didn't feel forced together. There were a LOT of themes running through that made me stop and think beyond this thoroughly engrossing story. The introspection of the main characters and their personal motives along with the police mystery was very well done.
That being said, I did miss some of the secondary characters such as Sylvia who was very limited, while it is explained (and totally makes sense) I still missed her presence and the main characters did too.
This is number 7 in the series and it keeps getting better.

Another winner from Annette Dashofy! Zoe Chambers is a multifaceted heroine: smart, empathetic and strong -- all needed in her job as a paramedic and deputy coroner. Visiting Pete's father at his assisted living residence, her suspicions are aroused. And this becomes her opportunity to lead the coroner's investigation into a homicide. There's already a lot on her plate, when her boss becomes ill and she has to cover for him too. Meanwhile, an unknown long-lost brother surfaces throwing her personal life in turmoil.
It kept me up reading to figure it out, and while I failed all the clues were there and the solution was fair. But really, being in rural Pennsylvania with so many interesting characters is why I love this series. HIGHLY recommended!
Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another excellent addition to one of my favorite series. Zoe and Pete never fail to draw me in, and CRY WOLF is no exception. Dashofy is a master of suspense. She weaves a tightly plotted tale where every detail comes together in a shocking and heart-wrenching ending. But the light at the end of the tunnel has me counting down the days until the next book. Loved it!
Dollycas’s Thoughts
We are back at the Golden Oaks Assisted Living Center again as one of its new residents is found dead in his room. With Pete’s father living there, Zoe and Pete feel the pressure to be sure his dad is safe but it also gives them the opportunity to nose around the place. When the coroner lands in the hospital Zoe gets the green light to investigate the murder. He even puts her in charge of the whole coroner’s office. Pete, down an officer, has his hands full with a couple of neighbors fighting over mowed grass. The machete one guy was wielding gets everyone’s attention. They are both thrown for a loop when a man contacts Zoe claiming to be her brother from a relationship her father had prior to marrying her mom.
This book is just 276 pages and it is packed full with goodness. The pace is fast and it was impossible to put down.
Ms. Dashofy has created characters in this series that grab you immediately whether this is the first story you have read or the 7th. Pete and Zoe are surrounded by a strong supporting cast, each unique, and well-drawn. Zoe’s life is already full and having a possible step brother added to the mix was a great twist. Zoe lost her father at a young age so she is excited to learn about Jason Cox. But could his appearance in her life be too good to be true?
Again, the author twists some medical and social issues into a great mystery that includes a plethora of suspects and situations full of drama. Secrets, lies, and half-truths turn the story in many different directions. A second murder makes everyone take a step back and look at the case with new eyes. The realistic take on PTSD was so well done. Being a cop is hard, taking a life in order to save another is totally a life-changing moment. The strong family-like connection between Pete, Zoe and his officers have enhances the way this was handled.
I totally enjoyed this story as I have enjoyed every book in this series. Small town, fantastic characters, and a great mystery. You can’t go wrong with any book written by this author.
