My Rating for A Merciful Promise is 4.5 Stars
Find the book at Amazon
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.
