Fatal Mercy: A Chilling Psychological Thriller

Written by Dan Padavona

Narrated by Daniela Acitelli

Two bodies, zero suspects. And a murderer Thomas Shepherd can’t stop.

Recovering after a near fatal encounter with a serial killer, Deputy Thomas Shepherd seeks the tranquility of Wolf Lake. Until a rash of murders and abductions paralyze the resort village. Who is killing the villagers of Wolf Lake?

The killer is a phantom hiding in the shadows. Sheriff Gray blames a ghost from his past, the priest who ran his wife off the road and killed her. But is the sheriff's bias tainting his judgment? Deputy Shepherd must go rogue and unravel a bewildering tangle of evidence if he hopes to catch the killer.

Then Deputy Shepherd's friend goes missing, and he fears the killer is responsible.

Will Thomas save his friend before the killer claims another victim?

Reviews for Fatal Mercy

[Kristi Henson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I couldn’t finish the audiobook because the narrator’s voice was AWFUL. She has that monotone voice and I couldn’t stomach it anymore.
I listened to the first book in the series and managed to get through it but I couldn’t stomach her voice anymore. Maybe I’ll try to read it but audiobooks are much better for me because I listen while I’m driving, cleaning and/or cooking.
A narrator can really make or break a book and it’s a bust for me.

[Carrie Holzmeister Stimpson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The storyline is good. A bit predictable, but not too bad. Unfortunately, the narration is a big part of the reason for the low rating. Not only is she horribly monotone but her inflections don't match the writing. It's just weird.
