Publisher Description

Former FBI agent Sam Delvecchio brings the keen skills of a profiler to his new position as a Mercy Street Foundation operative — and not a moment too soon. His first assignment, the cold-case murder of a local soup kitchen volunteer, has all the telltale signs of a serial killer’s work. That grim suspicion is confirmed when FBI agent Fiona Summers shares the details of two other killings with eerie similarities to Sam’s case: The bodies in all three cases have been carefully posed. And when a fourth victim is discovered, the two investigators realize they’re pursuing the same twisted quarry. Local parish priest Kevin Burch, Mercy Street founder Robert Magellan’s cousin, recognizes the posings for what they are: The killer is staging the church’s seven Acts of Mercy (“Feed the hungry, clothe the naked . . .”) with the bodies of his victims. But as Sam and Fiona race to prevent the final three murders, taunting messages from their target lead to the most chilling realization of all.

"Another great book in the Mercy Street series. Lots of action and some great romance. I also like how the overall mystery of Robert's family isn't being drawn out. That would have turned me off to the series. But I think Stewart is adding to that suspense without with-holding details. "

    " I liked this one much better than Mercy Street. I will say it was a bit predictable as to who the bad guy was but the characters were well developed and the storytelling good enough that the lack of surprise didn't bother me. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This is a series that I really enjoy...I enjoy the suspense and character development that Stewart creates. I can't wait to see what case the Foundation will take on next and who will become part of the family. Lots of good surprises in this book! "

    " I'm giving it two stars because I can't even remember that I read it, much less any details. So i'm either getting old and senile, or the book wasn't very remarkable. "

    " I really wasn't convinced by the set-up (millionaire funding a private cold-case investigative unit) and it felt like writing by numbers. None of it felt real, I could see the writer plotting away beneath the sentences. It also seemed as if every other character had a wife/loved one who had been murdered. Don't think I'll be seeking out any more from this series. "

    " This third of the Mercy series is another very good mystery and gives some resolution to Robert Magellan's situation, which has permeated through all three books. I enjoyed all of these books. "

    " OMG! Just when I think she has told the best story ever Mariah Stewart writes one that is even better than the last. If you haven't read her, you got to check her out -- I would, however, recommend starting with her first FBI books simply because they are so good. "

    " This started out pretty slow, but as I progressed it got better. The plot line was a puzzle that I enjoyed putting pieces together. The killer was a complete surprise, which I enjoyed. I am not a fan of when you know who the killer is 4 chapters in. "

    " Great book, couldnt stop reading...it just grabs you, althouth this was different from the others in the series, in this case things are happening as we read, it is not a unsolved case thats been there sitting for sometime, so it is a bit more nerve wraking. Still enjoyed. "
