Editorial Review:
Vigilantism can be swift and lethal, but it does not always carry the banner of justice. For Deputy Sheriff Annie Broussard, an attempt to honor the law traps her between the prime suspect in a vicious crime and her own colleagues on the force. And she's unsure which side, if either, is to be trusted. Set in the bayou country of Louisiana, A Thin Dark Line explores dark psychological territory while weaving through a complex plot rife with sordid characters and unlikely heroes. As the author of Night Sins and Guilty as Sin, Tami Hoag lives up to her reputation as a master of suspense.
Terror stalks the streets of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana. A suspected murderer is free on a technicality, and the cop accused of planting evidence against him is ordered off the case. But Detective Nick Fourcade refuses to walk away. He's stepped over the line before. This case threatens to push him over the edge.He's not the only one. Deputy Annie Broussard found the woman's mutilated body. She still hears the phantom echoes of dying screams. She wants justice. But pursuing the investigation will mean forming an alliance with a man she doesn't trust and making enemies of the men she works with. It will mean being drawn into the confidence of a killer. For Annie Broussard, finding justice will mean risking everything—including her life. The search for the truth has begun—one that will lead down a twisted trail through the steamy bayous of Louisiana, and deep into the darkest reaches of the human heart....

Rating:  - A good "who done it" book
This was my first Tami Hoag book & I thought it was pretty good. I could have done w/o the Cajun expressions & it got tiresome flipping to the back to the glossary for translations. Not to mention took away from the flow when I had to stop and look up the phrase.
I really liked the characters in this bk.. I thought the development of the relationship between Annie and Fourcade seemed real since it developed over time & wasn't hastily thrown together. Even though I ... Read More
Rating:  - Cajun Proud
The story by itself is good. However the Cajun setting and dialog was overdone and not always accurate. I have lived in Acadiana for a very long time and I enjoy reading books set in this region. A Thin Dark Line is not one of them. I had to put the book down too often and take a deep breath and cool off before picking it up to read again. I am sure that Miss Hoag meant no disrepect to our culture, but I found her portrayal of south Louisiana offensive. It seemed like an imitation of a James ... Read More
Rating:  - My first and favorite Hoag book
A Thin Dark Line keeps you glued to its pages. Wonderfully written to place you in the scene, this book evokes the taste and feel of the bayou. The plot twists are great and the characters really draw you in through skillful development. This was my first Hoag book and still a favorite.
Rating: - My favorite book by Hoag
First, I want to say that for those who think this is a "follow up" to Cry Wolf and Lucky's Lady, well that's not quite right. Some of the characters from those books are mentioned in this one but A Thin Dark Line is not a follow up to either of those. I wanted to share that because Cry Wolf and Lucky's Lady were romance novels, not a suspense novel like A Thin Dark Line, and if readers who are viewing these reviews are mislead into thinking A Thin Dark Line is strictly romance, then they may not wish ...

Rating: - First book I've read by Tami Hoag
I thought it was pretty good. It certainly wasn't dull, although at nearly 600 pages it probably could have been cut down a bit. I enjoyed the book and will read more by Tami Hoag. My only complaint/concern or problem with the book was the heroine, Annie Broussard. What she went through, what grief she took from co-workers, and then the physical abuse her body took in the last 50 pages of the book....Well, she's a better man than...well, a better man than almost any man I could think of. Small and ... Read More
