Review: A Cry from the Dust

A Cry from the Dust A Cry from the Dust by Carrie Stuart Parks
My rating: 💛💛💛

I enjoyed my second read of this book more than the first. The fact that I listened to the audiobook might have played a big part, since I’ve felt like the narrator did a great job with Gwen’s voice and dry humour.

The suspense thread was good and kept me invested.

The only main thing which I disliked as with the first time I’ve read this book was the subject matter focused on the Mormon church.

About the book:


A secret from a grim page of American history threatens to destroy thousands of innocent lives. Gwen Marcey was tops in her forensic art field. Then cancer struck, her husband left, and her teenage daughter engaged in active rebellion. Gwen's best chance to start her new life was a temporary job reconstructing faces from a 1857 massacre site. Instead, the images from the grave trigger a domino effect of ritualized murder, kidnapping, and fear. Gwen must weave through a labyrinth of Mormon history, discovering secret societies and festering grudges in a race against time. Will she be able to stop another massacre?
