Blind Search by Paula Munier was another complicated mystery with characters who are beginning to be favorites. Mercy and Elvis are great partners and I enjoyed watching both of them begin to come out of their shells. Mercy has opened her home to a teen and her baby that she helped rescue in the previous book and she is training Elvis in Search and Rescue. This story is packed with more than one mystery to solve, a child who is very special, twists that take the reader back into the past to unde...
Top-notch mystery/thriller. In the second of this excellent series, Mercy Carr and Elvis, her dog, have settled back in Vermont dealing with PTSD and their mutual loss during their last tour in Afghanistan. A woman is murdered in the woods by a bow and arrow, and a small boy, autistic, goes missing in the woods wearing only his batman pjs. Twists aplenty and wonderfully drawn characters. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed A Borrowing of Bones and was interested where Munier would go with the series. This time, a woman is killed in the forest during hunting season. Was it murder? And what did a young boy, somewhere on the spectrum, see when he was out there? Every time Elvis and Susie Bear are in the scene, they steal it. Luckily, they’re there to help young Henry. I found I was smiling a lot while listening to this, as they comforted him. We see the beginning of some romantic thoughts in this sec...
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this arc.I have read A Borrowing of Bones -- the 1st Mercy & Elvis book and enjoyed it. I looked forward to this read as well. I love dog stories (they don't need walking like my dogs do), and Elvis is very much a character and real part of these stories. As is Susie Bear... Mercy and Troy are likeable as well, but it's the older gals in this story that stole the show for me, Patience & Lillian. Blind Search very much felt like one almost all the wa...
I really don't like Mercy. The entire plot is based on poor police work and amazing intuition. Only Mercy knows that there's a child missing and even then they find him within a very short period of time. Nobody else noticed the marks in the snow and of course they never said a word about it, just took off and found him. Mercy goes through everyone's rooms and belongings which the regular police cannot do and magically figures out the case. The police man is a self-absorbed character, just to ma...
I really like the niche genre of game warden mysteries. One can learn so much about the natural resources in a state from these books. This particular series takes place in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Although it is the second in the “Mercy Carr Series,” I hadn’t read the first, but the author ably fills readers in on all we need to know.Mercy Carr is a former Army MP who served in Afghanistan. Her fiancé was killed there, and Mercy brought his bomb-sniffing dog Elvis back with her to the St...
Deducted 2 stars; 1 star for editing. I'll normally give a pass to these, but this book had too many for me. I got fed up with the multiple editing errors when the new character Yolanda is named before the MC, or anyone else in the story, even meets her and is introduced. 1 star for the killer of Alice and the bizzare ending. Unbelievable killer, thrown in almost as an afterthought, and then what do I say about the temper tantrum MC throws...How about - I stayed up for that??Not sure I'll contin...
Sadly, my love for Elvis (and for the little boy, Henry) wasn't enough to save this book for me. I liked the first ¾ of the book but the last ¼ was ridiculous. I felt as though Mercy had become a magician, pulling plot solutions out of her hat. It was so convoluted and improbable! I'm disappointed.
Blind Search3 StarsMercy Carr and her Belgian Malinois, Elvis, team up once again with Game Warden Troy Warner and his Newfie, Susie Bear, in pursuit of a killer. This time Mercy finds the body of a young woman pierced through the heart by an arrow. The situation is compounded by the fact that the only witness to the crime is a 9-year-old autistic boyAlthough well-written with engaging characters, this follow-up to A Borrowing of Bones does not completely resonate. As with the first book, the my...
1. Very poor editing. Nobody caught that the word “too” was used instead of “two” even though the word “also” was a couple of words further along in the sentence. Oh, and here’s a quote for you: “Elkhounds... ... originally bred by Vikings, were arguably the fiercest bear-hunting dogs in the world. Not to mention wild boar and the elk that graced their name—-known here on this continent as moose.” No. Elk and Moose are NOT THE SAME ANIMAL no matter what continent they are on.2. The Shakespeare q...
3.5 stars. Here's a little background on this series: Mercy Carr is former military police and was shot in Afghanistan. Her fiancee died there and she takes care of Elvis, his K-9 dog with PTSD. Elvis is a bomb sniffing Belgian shepherd; he's pretty good at tracking too. Mercy's grandmother Patience is a veterinarian. Vermont Game Warden Troy Warner plays prominently in the story with his K-9 dog Susie Bear.In this story, it's opening day of hunting season. A dead woman is found in the woods, ki...
