Echo Road by Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot
5.0
A country maintenance worker discovers two suspicious suitcases abandoned on the side of the road during a heat wave. Sheriff Bree Taggert responds to the call and discovers two bodies stuffed into the luggage. In Oregon, a senator’s daughter has gone missing and FBI Special Agent Mercy Kilpatrick agrees to keep the politically sensitive case on the down low. When she finds a link between the missing senator’s daughter and the double homicide three thousand miles away, Mercy takes the next plane out and lands right in the middle of Bree’s investigation.
To say that I binged ECHO ROAD would be highly accurate, given I sat glued to my Kindle gobbling this story up. I’ve never read anything by Kendra Elliot before but I love Melinda Leigh’s writing style and was excited to catch up with Sheriff Bree Taggert. After reading this clever duet, I know that I now must seek out Kendra Elliot’s work. These two authors write beautifully together, crafting a story that you don’t want to put down.
I love Sheriff Bree Taggert and quickly came to adore FBI Special Agent Mercy Filpatrick. ECHO ROAD is told in dual POV, alternating between these two characters. It’s so fun to find not one, but two series with incredible female leads in law enforcement. Both women are strong, brave, and able to put their ego to the wayside when needed for the common good.
The plot is fast-paced with several twists that serve to up the ante at every turn. The ending had me reading with bated breath as I desperately read, hoping for the best but fearing the worst.
Can’t wait to see what’s next for Sheriff Bree Taggert… and now I’ll also be on the lookout for FBI Special Agent Mercy Filpatrick’s books too!
