No Mercy by Joanna Schaffhausen
3.0
RATING: 3.5 STARS
2019; Minotaur Books/St. Martin's Press/Black Stone Audio
Narrator: Lauren Fortgang
I loved the first novel, [b:The Vanishing Season|30654172|The Vanishing Season (Ellery Hathaway, #1)|Joanna Schaffhausen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1487466538l/30654172._SY75_.jpg|51199114], in the Ellery Hathaway series, so maybe my expectations were too high for the second novel. I just didn't connect with the story as much. The novel takes up from where the first book ended, Ellery is forced on leave to get herself sorted out. Now that everyone knows Ellery's secrets she has become a bit of a liability to the police force. She is forced to go to group counselling and instead of getting help, she suspects one of the members of something nefarious. Ellery turns to Reed Markham again, and he has to decide if he will drop things for Ellery again. I felt like this novel was more about the case than Ellery and Reed.
