Mercy Kilpatrick and Truman Daly are back and better than ever in book 5 of the Mercy Kilpatrick stories, A MERCIFAL FATE.

30 years ago there was a big bank robbery. One man was arrested and tried and is serving his days out in prison. 4 men got away. When the carcass of one of those men is found in a remote cabin in Oregon, Mercy’s FBI team is called to investigate. There’s 2 million dollars still missing and the government wants it back.

Through a series of “anonymous” tips, and a couple of unexpected murders, Mercy and Truman push through the quagmire of decades-old investigative mistakes and deadends. A reporter is killed and the Mercy’s niece is shot, and then her sister Rose goes into premature labor. Add to the emotional strain of all this, Truman and Mercy should be planning their wedding, not solving murders or looking for money.

I’ve loved all the Kilpatrick books, and this one is the best so far. Fast paced, with great characters and dialogue, this book should be on your to-read list.
Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake for an advanced copy for an honest opinion.

This is book 5 of this series. I am really enjoying this series and want the next one now, lol. This book has it all, characters that you really like especially Ollie, and a good mystery with lots of twists and turns,

A Merciful Fate was an amazing read by Kendra Elliot!!! It was full of intrigue and mystery. Kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved it.

A Merciful Fate is book five in the series. A dead body surrounded by empty money bags is discovered by Ollie. So begins an investigation by Mercy and Truman into a thirty year old armoured car robbery.
Then some acts of vandalism start happening. That along with a very inquisitive reporter make Mercy and Truman realise the acts of vandalism and the robbery may be connected......but how and why???
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this arc. Brilliant as always by one of my favourite authors. A huge five stars!

Wow! This book had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Ollie is learning that there are rules, but some rules need to be broken. Mercy and Truman are trying to figure out what happened to the participants in a thirty year old robbery. Vandalism has hit their small town on top of everything else, and they aren't sure if it's connected to the robbery.
Another amazing read by Kendra Elliot.. Intrigue, mystery, nailbiting excitement. Well worth 5 stars.

An absorbing mystery about a 30 year old armored-car robbery. Mercy and her FBI team get the first big break about the age old mystery when a body is discovered turns out to be one of the robbers.

As Mercy and the FBI are trying to uncover more about the heist, Truman and the Eagle's Nest police department are trying to figure out who is vandalizing two prominent women in the town's businesses. Are these two things completely unrelated or is there a thread tying them together.

An enthralling read from start to finish in an engaging series.

Full review to be published online in mid to late January.

A MERCIFUL FATE is the latest entry in the well written and engaging “Mercy Kilpatrick” series by Kendra Elliot. Mercy is a prepper and an FBI agent. I never expected this series to stay this good for this long (this is book 5); but the author continues to surprise me with good cases to investigate, as well as unveiling Mercy’s character layer by layer. Mercy and Truman, as well as the other characters in Eagles Nest are (mostly) easy to like and follow. That, along with an interesting, creative storyline and surroundings made the characters actions feel real and true to the plot line.

A MERCIFUL FATE is a good entry in an RS series that continues to shine.

A skeleton along with empty bank bags is found in an abandoned remote cabin in the woods. The skeleton is identified as a member of the crew from the Gamble-Helman armored truck robbery. The case has remained unsolved for close to 30 years. One of the members of the crew was apprehended and is in prison. A tabloid reporter shows up in town with information about the current investigation and starts asking questions. Two local women are victims of vandalism. Are any of these events connected?

This is a great addition to the Mercy Kilpatrick series. I love the characters in this series. This book is filled with suspense and lots of twists. There was one at the end that snuck up on me. This is a great series, each book could be read as a stand alone, but start with the first, you won’t regret it. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.
