Review title: This book is a waste of time, paper and ink!
Product review: At least I didn't waste any money on it, since I checked it out of the library. Cry Wolf is the dullest "suspense" novel I've ever read. I had to slog through 300 pages of goopy soap-opera histrionics before the plot kicked into what passes for high gear. All the characters are so broadly drawn as to be almost cartoonish, with the exception of the killer, who suffers from too little character development. The ending is slapdash, as if Ms. Hoag ran out of time. She should have spent more time develping plot tension and less time on the endless whining and hand-wringing of the two exceedingly annoying main characters. Very unsatisfying!
