Mercy (An Atlee Pine Thriller, 4)

Mercy is the fourth book in the Atlee Pine series and, in my opinion, the best. Twin sisters are reunited after thirty years. The journey has been an arduous process, with many twists and turns - be prepared to spend most of your reading time on the edge of your seat.

I read it!!!!!Now what will he do for an encore??????????

You could feel sorry for the kidnapped and abused woman and the anger at her captures. Good story line

Lee finally found her family. Awesome series from Baldacci. I highly recommend this set and the other books from him

The Atlee Pine novels are the most suspense-filled stories I have enjoyed in quite a spell. The series includes the following: A Long Road to Mercy, A Minute to Midnight and Daylight before concluding with Mercy. We first meet FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine as she is assigned her duties, encompassing the Grand Canyon, investigating a missing person’s case in the A Long Road to Mercy. Atlee’s early life consisted of her receiving serious head trauma as her twin sister was kidnapped right from their bedroom in the middle of the night. The pain of that memory is further exacerbated by the rhyme the intruder used to decide which girl to kidnap, a well-known child’s rhyme, “eenie, meenie, miney, mo”! Now, Atlee is a young woman who pushes herself to be the best agent she can be, solving crimes she is sent to investigate. However, it is hard for Atlee to move one day without thinking of her sister, Mercy, and the pain of being separated for thirty years, not knowing what ever happened to her twin. In this concluding story, readers get to see if Mercy is alive or not and where has she been. Lest one thinks that is all to the story, there is much more along with other investigations Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum must solve if they can. In the exciting conclusion of this story, audiences find out if Atlee finds her mother and father. Have the past risks her mother took to bring down the mafia come after them but left Atlee alone? Also, in the novel we meet a vicious man whose long-term memory of past wrongs done to him, his family and others will cause Atlee to be in his crosshairs. Carol Blum is in real danger multiple times in the story, and it was gripping to see the lengths Atlee would go to find and rescue her. Her depth of love for Carol is very evident! I hope this isn’t the last we see of the character Atlee Pine. Atlee is a strong, capable FBI Agent who has faced extremely tough times and people, yet she rises to the occasion to fight for justice! I think in the story we see a little more humanness of Atlee when she faces people wanting to do harm to those who are vulnerable. Atlee is one focused young lady who I think has a bright future, not just with the FBI, but with audiences, especially if she is teamed up with other well-loved characters from other Baldacci novels. Mercy was a rollercoaster ride that was constantly pulling me with each page I read! I hope audiences will consider reading the whole series from start to finish. It was very fun and exciting to bury oneself in the character and series! There is no teaser or hint of what might be penned from this author; all I know is I can’t wait to read whatever comes next!
