Angela Marsons does it again. Deadly Cry is 13th book in the series following Kim Stone and her team.
Whilst this wasn’t my favourite in the series, the book did not disappoint with its fast pace and twists and turns that kept me hooked throughout.
My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that I wanted a bit more of the Stone/Keats ‘banter’.
Eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
Thank you to NetGalley, Angela Marsons and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Deadly Cry by Angela Marsons is the 13th DI Kim Stone Crime Thriller. This is one series that I recommend reading in order. Each book builds upon the previous one. We get to see the characters develop over the course of the series. I thought Deadly Cry (like all the other novels in this series) is well-written with a quick pace and complex characters. Kim Stone is a woman who lives life on her own terms. I like her relationship with DS Bryant. He is the closest thing to a human friend that Kim has (with her dog being her best friend). Kim Stone is a likeable and relatable woman. She had a troubled youth which is why Kim is the way she is (prickly, distant). We get to learn more about Penn and Stacey in this book. Penn is dealing with the loss of his mother and being responsible for his sixteen-year-old brother, Jasper who has Downes syndrome. Stacey Wood is getting married and she is eager for her big day to arrive. She is considerate of Penn and attempts to temper her excitement. Stacey is a smart, capable woman who has great potential. I like that there is some humor scattered throughout the story. The group is dealing with some rough cases plus personal issues and they need a little levity now and then. The mysteries were multifaceted with twists and turns that I found exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed following this mystery and solving it. It can be solved before the reveal if you pay close attention. There was a good ending that completely wrapped up the cases. I have a feeling change will be coming to our little group soon, and I cannot wait to see what happens next time. Deadly Cry is a fast-paced mystery novel that will keep you riveted until the very end.

DI Kim Stone is out to find the murderer of a young mother who is discovered in an abandoned building while her daughter is left holding a teddy bear in a busy shopping centre. A few days later a second woman's body is found and her six year old son is missing ,Kim knows she has to race against time to bring the little boy home alive.

Deadly Cry is the 13th book in the DI Kim Stone series by Angela Marsons. This really is an outstanding series and it continues in the same vein, exciting plot, gritty characters and so very well written. Cannot wait to read the next one !

I would like to thank Bookouture & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

This was one of my favorite installments, I loved how the secondary characters were introduced. Kim Stone's team is my favorite in all the procedural series I'm reading

I truly enjoy this series. I count down to every release of each new book. I have bought not just the ebooks but also paper copies for a close friend.

I love these characters- they are a family; I love their growth, just the right amount of attention.

Kim is forced to attend and participate on a security task force. The author of a tell all book about her affair with a married football player will be attending a book signing.
A young mother is brutally killed while her young daughter roams a store. Another young mother is brutally murdered- her son taken.
Stacey investigates a rape not pursued for conviction. After meeting with both victims and the convicted man of one, Stacey questions the entire case.
Marsons does an amazing job laying the groundwork- minimal back story, complex and I must know the answer storylines.
Great book - suspense, holy crap moments and shocking ending.

Thank you, Netgalley, for gifting me with q free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
