Book Reviews of Cry No More

It's funny but I can recall the day I read this book and how devastated I felt when I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. I'm a huge fan of Linda Howard's books, but this one just shattered me. I think it's the best book she's ever written and the ending is incredible moving.

Milla Edge is determine to find her son that was stolen from her ten years ago, but when she finds herself in a deadly ring she has nowhere to run but to the man she doesnt know if she can trust.
I read this is one night, no joke, it was great.

Milla Edge lives in Mexico, where her doctor husband, David, is posted. She has just given birth to her first child and is basking in a maternal glow when baby Justin is stolen literally out of her arms, with chilling efficiency. A decade later, Milla is divorced from David and has become the devoted head of an organization called Finders. Hunting down the cabals that carry out these crimes, she combs North America for kidnapped babies, including her own. Her sometimes reckless exploits put her in harm's way and also land her in the path of two very different powerful men. Wealthy businessman True Gallagher contributes generously to Finders and pursues Milla with every donation. The dangerous and elusive Diaz, a mercenary-or is he a government agent?-provides Milla with the name of Justin's kidnapper, and offers to accompany her on the dangerous journey to his headquarters. Both men have secret personal agendas.

I had a good time with this one - it was just what I was in the mood for over the weekend. It's definitely not the same old romance plot with the same old characters! And it's not just the main characters -- even the ex-husband is a nice guy for once! It might have made things a little more exciting if we hadn't gotten to see inside everyone's heads, but I can see arguments for both sides on that one. I can't help but wonder if the publisher didn't want to keep the read on the easier side and pushed for things to be a little more explained along the way....

Anyway, fun book, good story -- recommended for the romantic suspense crowd! I've always liked Linda Howard. She may be a little mainstream, but she got there 'cos she writes fun stuff!

One of my favorite Linda Howard books. Loved the hero. Not for the faint of heart.

Suspense.

A mystery and romance centered around finding lost children. A real page turner.

Mexican baby-smuggling ring uncovered by mother mourning her abducted son. Good guilty pleasure reading.

Milla Edge finds lost children - a job she undertook after her own baby was snatched from her arms. The key is an elusive one eyed man. What part does the invisible lethal assassin play? As with all Linda Howard mysteries, this one is hard to put down.

This book is about a women who finds lost children for a living. I thought it was a pretty good book.

Racing into peril, Milla suddenly finds herself the hunted-in the crosshairs of an invisible lethal assassin who aims to silence her permanently.
"Edge of your seat" excitement and typical Linda Howard steam!!

This romantic suspenseful novel is about a mother who will stop at nothing to find her kidnapped child, and other missing children. It deals with terrible losses, grief and healing. A fast-paced tale with a sexy hero, a driven heroine and a very satisfying epilogue!

I really enjoyed this book. A woman whose child was stolen when he was an infant has devoted her life to finding other missing children, developing a network of volunteers who try to keep other parents from enduring what she's had to face. She's followed lead after lead, looking for her own child, and as the book opens she's once more had a tip that could lead her to the child she's never forgotten.

There is a good summary of the plot already on the site so I won't recap. I just want to say that I've read most of Linda Howards novels, and Cry No More is, without a doubt, her best single title novel. I've read this one maybe 5 or 6 times since I first read it years ago.

Of the Linda Howard books I have read, this is the first one that made me cry! An excellent read.

Thriller about a woman who spends 10 years searching for the infant snatched from her arms in a Mexican market. Interesting story about obsession, but Howard loses points for a wildly unlikely hero/avenger/hunk.

Good book!

Milla's infant son was literally torn from her arms by a baby-smuggling ring in Mexico. She spends the rest of her time, and money, trying to recover her son, and also to find other lost children.

Great Story. Sexually explicit. Hard to put down.

Couldn't put it down!

This fast paced and keeps you hooked all the way through.

Finding lost children obsesses a woman who is out to save those who cannot save themselves. I enjoyed this and learned from it as well.

A very good read!

Great read.

Intense emotion . . . potent suspense . . . pounding action. Linda Howard weaves these elements into page-turning fiction. Cry No More is a seductive thriller of heartbreak and obsession that moves with a vengeance.

I really enjoyed the love interest in this book. It felt real to me. Also, I wasn't disappointed with the ending! I think you'll like it too.

Very good.

This book grabs you right away and doesn't let you go till it comes to a wonderful ending!

Wonderful. Kept me glued to the page.

A little different for Linda Howard, but excellent. It pulls at your heartstrings for sure.

Good Read! Need box of tissues!

I'm not a romance fan, and I enjoyed this one. It has mystery, murder & intrigue weaved throughout. :)

good book, lots of suspence

Touching and believable.

Very excellent book! I recommend this one to anyone! A real emotional rollercoaster.

Great read! Howard always knows how to weave a good tale.

This was an edgy mystery. I was on the edge of my seat through most of the book. If you want a good mystery, this is it!

This is one of Linda Howard's more serious stories. Howard's characters are well-developed and take many emotional turns through out the story. Milla, the main character, searches for lost and abducted children. Her search takes her to Mexico where she uncovers more than she bargained for. This story is more suspense than romantic suspense.

Milla\'s obsession to find her stolen child, leads her on a mission to help others. I had a hard time putting this one down.
