A Merciful Truth

Written by Kendra Elliot

Narrated by Teri Schnaubelt

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Raised by a family of survivalists, FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick can take on any challenge—even the hostile reception to her homecoming. But she's not the only one causing chaos in the rural community of Eagle's Nest, Oregon. At first believed to be teenage pranks, a series of fires takes a deadly turn with the murder of two sheriff's deputies. Now, along with Police Chief Truman Daly, Mercy is on the hunt for an arsonist turned killer.

Still shunned by her family and members of the community, Mercy must keep her ear close to the ground to pick up any leads. And it's not long before she hears rumors of the area's growing antigovernment militia movement. If the arsonist is among their ranks, Mercy is determined to smoke the culprit out. But when her investigation uncovers a shocking secret, will this hunt for a madman turn into her own trial by fire?

Reviews for A Merciful Truth

[Lena Ariza · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I did not enjoy reading about a militia of misogynistic white assholes and none of the rest of the story made up for it.

But I am glad Mercy has made some strides with her family/community and will give further stories a try.

[Nancy Vieth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Just as good as the first! A gripping story, amazing characters, and a wonderful narrator!

[Kathryn Mathias · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is the second book in this series, and I was wondering whether I'd enjoy it as much. Turns out it's even better (I rated the first one 4/5, this one 5/5). This is a new author for me and so far, I'm very impressed with her writing style. This book "A Merciful Truth" was interesting and kept me wanting to hear it to the end. There was mystery and action and a little romance (just the way I like it, not too much). I'm looking forward to any more books centering on Mercy as the main character.
