    About this audiobook

    On a balmy spring evening, four high school seniors-three boys and a girl-enter a park in the small Pennsylvania city of Conroy. The next morning, two of the boys are found shot to death, and the girl and the third boy are gone. After three weeks with no leads and no sign of either of the two missing teenagers, the chief of police begins to wonder if they too were victims. But with no other suspects, the authorities conclude that one of these kids was the shooter.

    The missing boy's grandmother, a secretary at the local parish church, maintains his innocence. On her behalf, the parish priest, Father Kevin Burch, hires former detective Mallory Russo as a private investigator to figure out what happened in the park that night. Mallory had ended her nine-year stint with the Conroy police force some time ago after becoming a target of a smear campaign. Now a true-crime author, Mallory is surprised to receive the priest's offer-and highly intrigued by the case. She can't help but accept the challenge-especially when she learns that her investigation will be financed by Father Burch's cousin, the reclusive billionaire Robert Magellan, a man whose own wife and infant son disappeared without a trace a year ago, a man who understands the heartache of not knowing what happened to a loved one.

    Detective Charlie Wanamaker is facing another sort of tragedy. He fled Conroy years ago with no plans to return to what he considered a dying factory town-until a family emergency brought him back. Finding the situation much worse than he'd thought, he trades his job as a big-city detective for one with the Conroy police department. Assigned to the park shooting case, Charlie quickly realizes that the initial investigation left a lot of questions unanswered. Unofficially, he teams up with Mallory to uncover the truth and find the two kids, dead or alive. What Charlie and Mallory discover will take them down a twisted path that leads to an old unsolved murder-and justice for a killer with a heart of stone.

I could follow the twists and turns of this mystery much better than the previous mystery that I had read. This book did have some romantic elements woven into the story, but they were very tastefully handled and not overdone in any way. I give Mercy Street by Mariah Stewart an A! and will certainly be on the lookout for more books by this author to read.

      I loved this book! Mallory and Charlie made a great team, I liked how he listened to her opinion and how he respected her as a person. Robert was a pretty dark person, he made me want to cry for his loss. The Assistant Suse was great until the last couple of chapters, I think that if Mallory ever gets hired to find Robert's family Mallory will be in danger form Suse. She seem a bit obsessed with finding Beth and Ian dead...maybe so she can be the one there to pick up the pieces of Robert and put him back together and then have a "happily ever after" with him. I picked up the next one in the series...can't wait to read that one!
    • 4/5
      This was an enjoyable listen.This was a character centered book. I was very interested as I learned more about Mallory and Charlie. I also was drawn in by the conflict within the police department, and fascinated by Magellen's story. The mystery itself wasn't bad, but wasn't compelling.I'm looking forward to future books in this series-- this book set them up nicely, if in a slightly unbelievable way.
    • 4/5
      Liked it. Stewart can always make a story engrossing without a lot of gore or a big bodycount. This one had a little more violence than other books from her, and the bad guys are a little easier to despise, it was still a "gentle" read considering the genre (if the adjective makes sense).
