A Merciful Fate

Mercy Kilpatrick, Book 5

De: Kendra Elliot

Narrado por: Teri Schnaubelt

In this Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestseller, there are no such things as little secrets...

Raised by preppers, survivalist and FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick has a deep-rooted need for a safe place. Her getaway in the Cascade Foothills is her secret. But when skeletal remains are unearthed - those of a murdered man linked to a notorious heist - Mercy realizes she isn’t the only one with something to hide.

Thirty years ago, an armored-car robbery turned deadly. The mastermind was captured. Four conspirators vanished with a fortune. One of them, it appears, never made it out of the woods alive. For Mercy and her fiancé, Police Chief Truman Daly, their investigation opens old wounds in Eagle’s Nest that cut deeper than they imagined. Especially when a reckless tabloid reporter draws fresh blood. It’s clear to Mercy that somebody in this close-knit community is not who they seem to be.

Some are still shattered by the heist. Some still have reason to be afraid. But which one will kill again and again to hide three decades of secrets? To land this case, it’s up to Mercy to unmask a familiar stranger before someone else dies.

Great read

I loved it. As usual, Brown has written a beautiful story that twists and turns while holding the reader with minute descriptions.

love the series

loved this story ..Mercy is as good as ever I look forward to more stories

Great book.

I really enjoy this series. The characters are well constructed and I enjoy the setting in the Pacific Northwest. Mercy is complex and real. I like the push and pull as she struggles to strike a balance between being an Federal agent. and her family who grew up as peppers.
I am interested to see what happens in the next book.
This one was filled with a years old bank robbery that came back with a vengeance. Ollie finds a body; Keily and Mercy's partner get shot and. that's just scratching the suface. This is worth a credit so get it already.

Good Read

This was a good book to listen to while working. It was just a little slow at times but all in all not a good listen.

Love this whole series

Recommended for thriller lovers

Buried Treasure

Reader Comments

This is an amazing book! I loved the suspense and the twist in the story line. Please buy this book and read all of the other books in the series if you have not already done so.

Always enjoyable

I am a fan and enjoy this series. I always skip other books when a new one comes out.

A good read

I read this one out of order. I missed its release completely.

Poor Olly. He and his dog find a human bone that leads to an investigation into an unsolved robbery. Mercy and the FBI get involved. Add in a young tabloid reporter, curmudgeons who hate the feds and any police, Mercy’s sister about to give birth, and weapons. Blood is spilled and the reader, as well as the characters themselves, don’t know whom to trust.

Teri Schnaubelt does a great job with the narration of the audiobook.

again...nonsense and suspense

I love the book but again, there are moments in the story that did not make much sense. I do not know how many people in the middle of such an important situation would make themselves unavailable to the people who may have to call them. Why, if you're in the middle of such an important investigation and you think he kill her Etc might be after someone you care about with your phone be on silent? If anyone can explain these things, and make it make sense, then I might get picked up the story as it is. Other than that performance was great, the story was a good story and it ended what kind of a twist. I couldn't figure out the Killer until the end, because the characters of course, did not come into play until later, or we have not met them. One of the people involved, I am pretty sure you will figure out near the beginning, they were kind of obvious. I won't give you the sex of the person though. Other than that, this was a pretty solid mystery it ends with a bit of a sad note for the community. I am hoping there will be more in the series though, but it is unlikely because the romances are all complete. Other than that, the book was great, if you like mystery and suspense she's done it again!
