Fiction. Romance. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Deep in the Kentucky hills, three women have been found brutalized and murdered.
But the folks in Night Holler have their own ways and their own laws.
And they're not talking...
Led to an isolated Appalachian Mountain town by a trail of disturbing murders, FBI special agent Violet Rainwater's determined to catch a serial killer with a twisted agenda. With locals refusing to reveal their secrets, Violet's only ally is Detective John Orlando. But even John has an ulterior motive??he's convinced this case is connected to his wife's murder.
As they dig deeper, Violet uncovers a link to her own unresolved past. For years she's worked the cold case of her mother's abduction, which had led to her birth. The need to look into the eyes of the sinful man who fathered her consumes Violet. Until she can, she'll never have peace. Because she's terrified she might be exactly like him.
In this chilling novel, when the present collides with Violet's mysterious past and John's tragic loss, they must unravel the warped, sinuous connections before the killer strikes again. But solving the case might not be nearly as terrifying as the possibility that Violet's finally found her roots

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
The Kentucky Hill Country is the setting for this book. FBI special agent Violet Rainwater is determined to catch a serial killer with a horrible agenda. The deeper she digs, the more Violet uncover about her own unresolved past. Come on and join the journey as the present collides with the past in this chilling read by Jessica R. Patch.

Talk about chilling read. This Inspirational Psychological Thriller will have you on the edge of your seat biting your nails until you finish this book. I couldn’t put this book down until I read the very last page. I find that the characters in A Cry in the Dark have their own unique personalities, strengths and weaknesses, each lending to the depth and authenticity of the story and the time. I was happy to finally meet the story ending, see it all come to a close. A close that would satisfy readers after all of the many twists and turns taking place in this story.

If you enjoy a good Psychological Thriller that has your head spinning throughout the story, A Cry in the Dark by Jessica R. Patch would be a great choice for you. I’m giving this one Five Stars.

WOW! This book was gobsmacking incredible especially if you love watching true crime shows. It is a relentless thrill ride that takes you into the dark side of the Kentucky hollers but doesn’t leave you without hope. I could completely identify as I live in a neighboring state and know how the clan mentality and self justice can work. I loved how it was edge of your seat and kept me guessing almost till the end as I can usually figure out who the villain is. The curve balls in this one are top notch in my opinion. The characters were relatable and realistic but also showed their weaknesses and how past circumstances can shape your way of thinking but then God steps in and writes a different story. Ms Patch has talent for pulling you in and immersing you into the world she has created. It is raw and gritty and can have you biting your nails and looking over your shoulder as the creep factor is spot on.I was very impressed. I highly recommend.
I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest reviews and opinions are my own and were not required. ( )

A Cry in the Dark by Jessica R. Patch is an Inspirational Psychological Thriller that takes place in the Kentucky Hill Country. FBI special agent Violet Rainwater’s determined to catch a serial killer with a horrible agenda. Violet’s only ally is Detective John Orlando. But even John has an ulterior motive – to find the man who murdered his wife.

With twists and turns, this book kept me reading. However, the descriptions of the violence against women and the story of Violet’s conception and delivery might be triggers for some. In some ways, I felt this book moved at a good pace, but in other ways, I was ready to read the ending.

I loved how some secrets came to light and how Jessica R. Patch developed this book’s characters and plotline. I found myself unable to put this book down.

So if you enjoy inspirational psychological thrillers, check out A Cry in the Dark by Jessica R. Patch for yourself. I definitely recommend it.

“And Reeva knew in that moment, she’d birthed a monster.”

“Monsters can’t be fixed.”

Whew! I made it out of Jessica R Patch’s latest book, A Cry in the Dark, alive! Some characters, due to the nature of this thriller-chiller, won’t.

Violet Rainwater, part of the Strange Crimes Unit, joins her teammates in the hollers of Kentucky to ferret out “The Blind Eye Killer,“ who is tormenting his victims before he ends their lives. Violet is good at profiling killers, but her real reason for her career choice is to have better access to tools to find her father. Her background closes her off from everyone and God wasn’t around when she needed Him, either. She believes the lies she has been told about herself all her life. Will she always be “unloved and unwanted”?

John Orlando is part of the Memphis Missing Persons Unit. He offers his services to the team, knowing he may be able to discover information about his late wife’s tragic death. Will the truth be more than he can handle?

This is the first novel I have read by Jessica Patch. It can stand alone well. Oh, but the willies!! I didn’t bargain for quite so many when I chose this book. But Patch has a way of luring the reader in deeper, into the dark recesses of the
human psyche, until you simply MUST place yourself in the heroine’s shoes and figure out the mystery. I loved that a wide variety of suspects is offered up like a smorgasbord. All seem like viable candidates. Patch will have your mind and heart twisting and turning like a wild coaster ride as you attempt to follow the action.

Best of all, though, light breaks through the darkness at the end. God does not stay silent, but as Violet discovers, He was there waiting all the time. “But I couldn’t reach out until I recognized that I needed to reach…and then…I found God had already stretched out His arm to meet mine. He grabbed ahold, and He didn’t let go.”

I received a complimentary copy of the book from Celebrate Lit. No positive review was required, and all opinions are my own.

Notable Quotables:

She had never been smart enough, good enough, kind enough, behaved enough…nothing. Even when she went into law enforcement, it wasn’t enough for Reeva. For Grandmother.

“We might start out havin’ to survive, Agent. But we can turn survivin’ into thrivin’.”- Mother

It’s hard to know who you are when you’ve been told for so long who you’re supposed to be.
