I was worried that A Merciful Death would end up being just like all Kendra Elliot and while it is very similar at the same time it is different.
Mercy isn't the perfect Federal Agent but she works hard to cover up her past. She is strong, fights for the right and believes in those she loves. Kendra Elliot gave readers a person who isn't damaged but struggles between the way she was raised and how she wants to live her life.

Kendra created characters who have flaws, are imperfect but are trying to do what is right with the knowledge they have. They struggle with the way they were raised and how they want to live their lives now. The family drama was very real. You could feel the family struggle with the dynamics create a real world feeling.
The mystery was a little questionable and at times not as believable as many other of Kendra Elliot novels but the dynamics of the individual characters and the real life struggles some of them face made this novel a 5 star read.

Fantastic read! Loved every minute of it! A terrific start to a new series!

Wow, Kendra has done it again.. This book was a real page turner, Merci is our main character but the secondary characters where brilliant.. I was holding my breathe on many occasion, and didn't work out the bad buy until a page before we found out, a fact I'm pleased to share as sometimes it's too easy.. Officer Truman gets my vote too he's a no nonesence guy with a soft heart, I loved the banter between him and Merci, I also hope Kendra will write more of any of the characters we met, as I will definitely be reading them, ... Thank you for the honour of letting me read your work...

OMG what a great read .  I can't wait for more stories with Mercy .  This book is full of twists and turns and heart wrenching at times .  A must read .  Highly recommend
