Publisher's Summary
A pair of ritual murders could expose Mercy Kilpatrick to something terrifying: her own past...
Raised off the grid by survivalists, Mercy Kilpatrick believed in no greater safeguard than the backwoods of Oregon. Unforgiven by her father for abandoning the fold for the FBI, Mercy still holds to her past convictions. They're in her blood. They're her secrets - as guarded as her private survival retreat hidden away in the foothills.
In a cabin near her hideaway, Mercy encounters a young girl whose grandmother is dying from multiple knife wounds. Hundreds of miles away, a body is discovered slashed to death in a similar way. The victims - a city judge and an old woman living in the woods - couldn't be more different. With the help of police chief Truman Daly, Mercy must find the killer before the body count rises. Mercy knows that the past has an edge on her. So does her family. How can she keep her secrets now...when they're the only things that can save her?

Great Series!
Secrets just never seem to stay a secret. Very good book in the Mercy Kilpatrick (the prepper FBI) series. Fast paced with some very strange family relationships. Two murder victims. One is a judge, the other is an older woman living so far back in the woods you have to know she lives there to find her. The locals say she's a witch. Both stabbed to death with the same stab pattern. Something connects these two but you won't find out what it is until about 3/4 of the through the book.
Excellent narration by Terri Schnaubelt.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Have Mercy!
4.5*'s
As always Kendra delivered a story that had me on the edge of my seat. There were a few parts that were not as fast paced as others but over all it was a fantastic read. It seems that Mercy can get herself into all kinds of trouble even if she isn't looking for it. And not just any kind of trouble. Oh no, she has to get herself buried neck deep in the snow, gun fire and well, ya know, fire.
Throughout it all she has her friends (co workers) and Truman at her side. Every step towards the answers she seeks sends her closer and closer to the answers she seeks, even if those answers may be the last thing she gets out of any of it.
I love the characters, I love the storyline and I can not wait to see what Kendra comes up with next!

Would you listen to A Merciful Secret again? Why?
Yes - All Kendra Elliot books are well worth keeping and revisiting again in the future
Who was your favorite character and why?
That's easy...Truman Daly of course, I bet he is loved by all the romance readers ;)
Any additional comments?
Kendra Elliot has become an auto-buy author, she does a fantastic job with the suspense but still remembers to add enough romance in to satisfy readers of that Genre.

Although the story line wasn’t as exciting as some of Kendra’s other stories I’ve read , this was a fluid , well written and very enjoyable read/listen. With a pretty violent climax the story was well rounded off. Happy to recommend this book to anyone as Kendra is a top story teller .
