Boy | Tami Hoag
An unfathomable loss or an unthinkable crime? #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag keeps you guessing in her most harrowing thriller yet. A panic-stricken woman runs in the dead of night, battered and bloodied, desperate to find help... When Detective Nick Fourcade enters the home of Genevieve Gauthier outside the sleepy town of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana, the bloody crime scene that awaits him is both the most brutal and the most confusing he's ever seen. Genevieve's seven-year-old son, P.J., has been murdered by an alleged intruder, yet Genevieve is alive and well, a witness inexplicably left behind to tell the tale. There is no evidence of forced entry, not a clue that points to a motive. Meanwhile, Nick's wife, Detective Annie Broussard, sits in the emergency room with the grieving Genevieve. A mother herself, Annie understands the emotional devastation this woman is going through, but as a detective she's troubled by a story that makes little sense. Who would murder a child and leave the only witness behind? When the very next day P.J.'s sometimes babysitter, thirteen-year-old Nora Florette, is reported missing, the town is up in arms, fearing a maniac is preying on their children. With pressure mounting from a tough, no-nonsense new sheriff, the media, and the parents of Bayou Breaux, Nick and Annie dig deep into the dual mysteries. But sifting through Genevieve Gauthier's tangled web of lovers and sorting through a cast of local lowlifes brings more questions than answers. Is someone from Genevieve's past or present responsible for the death of her son? Is the missing teenager, Nora, a victim, or something worse? Then fingerprints at the scene change everything when they come back to a convicted criminal: Genevieve herself. The spotlight falls heavily on the grieving mother who is both victim and accused. Could she have killed her own child to free herself of the burden of motherhood, or is the loss of her beloved boy pushing her to the edge of insanity? Could she have something to do with the disappearance of Nora Florette, or is the troubled teenager the key to the murder? How far will Nick and Annie have to go to uncover the dark truth of the boy?

This was a good one.
A boy names KJ gets murdered in his bedroom, and his mom also gets hurt. Then the babysitter of KJ goes missing.
Could someone in their town be doing this?
It kept me guessing who it is, and then the big surprise at the end, who actually did the crimes.
Love books that keep you guessing, the go WOW when you find your totally not in the direction the book was taking you

Just finished up with a big project at work and able to turn my attention back to #scarathlon2021! Starting off with The Boy in my lunch break, and I‘m also hoping to finish Run, River today on audiobook. The Boy is quite slow so far but well acted and the premise is weirding me out so deeply and bizarrely

This was a Christmas present last year and an author i had not tried before but will happily rd again. Altho 2nd in the series it read easily with 2 central strong characters nick fourcade + annie broussard detectives in a louisiana cajun town where a child is violently killed as the mother escapes. Sometimes a bit clunky in prose but definitely a page turner which had me gripped to the last few pages with lots of tension.

This is Hoag‘s best IMO, but it is also her hardest to read, subject wise. Abuse on children, murder of children and abusive relationships are examined, while a small town tries to hold it together under unprecedented tragedy. While the crime(s) were a main focus, Hoag, this time, put more emphasis on the survivors, and the Detectives that must face these tragedies on a daily basis.

I also didn‘t realize the bookmark I had chosen. 😭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my first mysteries was Tami Hoag, with the characters Nick Fourcade and Annie Broussard. It is like coming home to see them featured again in her latest!

Also, my welcome sign which has caught a few ppl off guard 😂

At first I avoided this book due to the subject matter (harm comes to children) but I was persuaded to give it a try. It is a fast paced police mystery with excellent characters.

I enjoyed Hoag‘s plot, I certainly found it to be a page turner and was enthralled from beginning to end. What I always enjoy about Hoag is her writing, which seems effortless, I love the journey of getting to that uh-huh moment. I strongly recommend this book.

I liked this book quite a bit. I love that it takes place in Louisiana on the bayou. I feel her writing improves with each book. This is a great story that kept me guessing. I did not get bored or sidetracked at all, really held my interest. A good story.

I‘ve waited sooooo long for this book!!! It was amazing. A little boy is murdered and his injured mom ends up being a suspect. Then his 12 year old babysitter goes missing. There are so many twists and turns in this book I didn‘t know where it was headed. The ending didn‘t disappoint. So, so good. Would highly recommend!!!! 💜💜💜

Tmhildy Maybe I‘ll have to give it another try. 6y
Booknerd2 @Tmhildy Sorry to hear you didn‘t care for it. I really enjoyed it. 6y

This was my first by her, and I don‘t know why! I loved it.. It seems like a lot of pages going in and then *poof* they‘re gone! Parallels to Karin Slaughter for me, with the great writing that makes you want to just keep reading and reading! 👍🏻

Lauren_reading Love Tami Hoag books! I haven‘t read any in a long time though - time to catch up 6y

I like this book 😚! It got me through the treadmill this morning, but unfortunately it won‘t get me through the grocery store, so it‘s break time ☹️

BookofWords How do you read on the treadmill? Isn‘t it too bouncy? 6y
