David Baldacci’s series featuring FBI agent Atlee Pine began in 2018, with Long Road to Mercy. Subsequent titles included A Minute to Midnight and Daylight, continuing the story of Atlee’s search for her twin sister Mercy. I was pleased to receive a copy of Mercy,  #4 in the series, from Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for this honest review. 

Mercy was abducted at the age of six and has never been seen again. Later, Atlee’s parents abandoned her and her whole life has been an unending search for answers. Atlee has discovered why her parents abandoned her, and it looks likeMercy may actually have escaped and be alive. 

Mercy’s escape  left at least one dead body behind, and the book moves at a fast pace to a satisfying reveal at the end. It wasn’t “unputdownable,” but it held my interest and was entertaining. Three and a half stars, rounded down because it isn’t quite a four star book!
