Synopsis (Goodreads):
Raised by preppers, survivalist and FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick has a deep-rooted need for a safe place. Her getaway in the Cascade Foothills is her secret. But when skeletal remains are unearthed—those of a murdered man linked to a notorious heist—Mercy realizes she isn’t the only one with something to hide.

Thirty years ago, an armored-car robbery turned deadly. The mastermind was captured. Four conspirators vanished with a fortune. One of them, it appears, never made it out of the woods alive. For Mercy and her fiancĂ©, Police Chief Truman Daly, their investigation opens old wounds in Eagle’s Nest that cut deeper than they imagined. Especially when a reckless tabloid reporter draws fresh blood. It’s clear to Mercy that somebody in this close-knit community is not who they seem to be.

Some are still shattered by the heist. Some still have reason to be afraid. But which one will kill again and again to hide three decades of secrets? To land this case, it’s up to Mercy to unmask a familiar stranger before someone else dies.
Thoughts on A Merciful Fate: MAN, Mercy's situation is tough on her family. Good thing she has Truman to keep her steady when things go south. Not that Mercy couldn't handle it on her own, but having someone to lean on when things do go bad is never a bad thing and I think Mercy deserves the good.

Anyway. This case doesn't just affect her family (although it also prods a certain someone into a teeny, tiny bit of a breakthrough, so maybe what happened isn't all bad), but also the town. Some secrets hurt and some cause chaos when unearthed. The secrets Mercy and Truman uncover do a bit of both.

That doesn't stop them, though. Especially once the case starts hitting as close to home as it does.

I've genuinely enjoyed the craziness that's Mercy's life as she works of reintegrating herself into a town she left ages ago and a family that's divided about her profession. She's building her life on her own terms and with the people who matter to her and I kinda dig that. I kinda dig that a lot.
