A Merciful Silence

A Merciful Silence by Kendra Elliot. (Mercy Kilpatrick Book #4) Seattle: Montlake Romance, 2018.  344 pages. *****

Eagle's Nest police officer Ben Cooley is driving home when he sees that the road ahead of him is washed out by the heavy rain.  Calling for assistance, he reports that the guardrail is gone and then he notices the rock with eye sockets and teeth. In the latest FBI Special Agent Mercy Kilpatrick and Eagle's Nest police chief Truman Daly story, this crime-solving duo attempt to solve a present-day mass murder and in the process, revisit a similar 20-year-old murder case. The convicted killer in the previous murder is behind bars, so is this the work of a copycat or has the wrong man been incarcerated? There is a witness to the first murder if only she could remember what happened on that fateful night. 

This book is the latest one in the series, and while some series may grow stagnant or stall, this one keeps getting better. Be prepared...once you start this book, you are not going to want to stop until the last page.
