FBI Agent Mercy Kilpatrick’s latest case is difficult yet right up
her alley: Infiltrate a militia that rumors are saying are massing illegal
weapons and more. Mercy is the ideal person for the job. She knows the area
(Oregon) and was raised by survivalists. She knows how these people think. The
rules which are simple are: lay low, follow their rules and try to do nothing
to make them notice you. And Oh, relinquish any contact with the world outside.
As she blends in and leaves all she loves behind, her fiancé,
Eagle’s Nest police chief, Truman Daly, is faced with a set of murders so odd,
he has no idea if they are connected or not. As Mercy finds her feet in this
militia while searching out clues, danger mounts as she finds evidence of a
plot that will shake the country. Can Mercy get contact to Truman and her
fellow FBI agents before it all blows up in her face? Can Truman figure out the
puzzling murders and try to get Mercy to safety as the danger around them goes
even higher?
A MERCIFUL PROMISE is the final book in the wonderful Mercy Kilpatrick series
and one that just left me on the edge of my seat from the first page. It’s a
wild adventure with a few twists I sure did not see coming. Ms. Elliott is a
wonderful storyteller and really hit it out of the ballpark with her latest
book in the series. I am sad to see the series end but just love how she ended
it. Mercy is a tough as nails FBI agent who was raised by survivalists and
knows the way they think. Mercy continues to grow with each book. When we met
her in book one. A Merciful Death, I wasn’t quite sure how she would work out
as a heroine but as each book shows, her and Truman’s romance are just perfect
for one another and with a cast of wonderful secondary characters to help move
the story along, A MERCIFUL PROMISE is a perfect swan song for
the series.
It opens with a case that is right up Mercy’s alley. A rogue
militia group is stockpiling weapons and the FBI needs to know just what they
plan to do with them all. I loved how Mercy is pulled into a case with people
she grew up with, even if they seem a little too out there to myself. I loved
her interactions with the members of the m ilitia and as she finds her feet
there, she gives the reader a glimpse into that kind of life full on. I am in
awe of the author’s research into this kind of lifestyle and how the author
just captured it perfectly in this series. The murders also that Truman deals
with are a perfect way to bring him into the storyline and the switch between
Mercy and Truman’s scenes were done seamlessly.
A MERCIFUL PROMISE is a wonderful end to a riveting series that just blew me
away. If you enjoy captivating stories with amazing characters that grow with
each book, crimes that keep your imagination fully engaged than I highly
recommend this series to you. I do suggest starting from the beginning, A
Merciful Death, in order to get the full effect of the series as each book
builds upon the last one. I am eager to see where this author goes next and
hope we readers don’t have to wait long for it.
