No Mercy

The Ellery Hathaway Series, Book 2

De: Joanna Schaffhausen

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang

Police officer Ellery Hathaway and FBI profiler Reed Markham take on two difficult new cases in this stunning follow-up to The Vanishing Season.

Police officer Ellery Hathaway is on involuntary leave from her job because she shot a murderer in cold blood and refuses to apologize for it. Forced into group therapy for victims of violent crime, Ellery immediately finds higher priorities than "getting in touch with her feelings."

For one, she suspects a fellow group member may have helped to convict the wrong man for a deadly arson incident years ago. For another, Ellery finds herself in the desperate clutches of a woman who survived a brutal rape. He is still out there, this man with the Spider-Man-like ability to climb through bedroom windows, and his victim beseeches Ellery for help in capturing her attacker.

Ellery seeks advice from her friend, FBI profiler Reed Markham, who liberated her from a killer's closet when she was a child. Reed remains drawn to this unpredictable woman, the one he rescued but couldn't quite save. The trouble is, Reed is up for a potential big promotion, and his boss has just one condition for the new job - stay away from Ellery. Ellery ignores all the warnings. Instead, she starts digging around in everyone's past but her own - a move that, at best, could put her out of work permanently, and at worst, could put her in the city morgue.

JS is a favorite writer but I like the books about Annalisa Vega a lot more!

Joanna Schaffhausen is one of my favorite writers. I really like her series about Annalisa Vega.

I am not as fond of Ellery Hathaway. She definitely doesn't act like she wants her job back! She is also doing things that are really dangerous! I don't understand her.

I hope this series gets better! I haven't given up! You can borrow the audio book from Audible for free at the moment.

I love this series!

I love this series and the first book was great and so was this one. The only thing about this book [SPOILER ALERT] was I didn't feel like I got closure or a good explanation on what happened to Jacob Gallagher after the shooting. It was just left hanging there. Okay maybe I just missed it because I do listen in Atlanta traffic and people drive like idiots but I don't miss much. Maybe it's on me or maybe something will be mentioned in the next book. Not sure but I liked it a lot. Ready for Book 3

No Mercy

wonderful book in Joanna Scaffhausen' s series!
Great characters and engaging story lines. Can't wait for the next book!

listened via audible

I didn't have the physical book, so I listened to audio... so my opinion may be less discernment. There was a lot going on and it was hard to keep up with all the characters. I had to replay some chapters to figure out who the author was talking about. I enjoyed it though!

A chapter of a bigger story

This book was ok as a chapter in a life. There is a bigger story here maybe the next book?
