My Thoughts:
FBI Agent Atlee Pine’s twin sister was abducted when they were six years old, and Altee has never stopped searching for her.  Since the last book Atlee has been on leave from the Bureau, with their blessing and resources, to follow up on the crucial leads she’s found. With the help of her trusty assistant Carol Blum, they’re finally getting somewhere!

I read the book in one 24-hour period because I had to know how it all turned out! It was a harrowing journey at times, and painful to read in spots as what happened to Mercy is recounted.  The story was action packed and boy were there some tough situations, but just when I thought Atlee was backed into a corner she couldn’t get out of, she came out fighting!

Mercy is the fourth book in the Atlee Pine series and I’m so happy to finally have all the answers and closure! It was a satisfying conclusion to a thrilling series. Total recommend!

Book Description:

FBI Agent Atlee Pine’s harrowing search for her long-lost sister Mercy reaches a boiling point in this breakneck thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci. 
 
For her entire life, FBI agent Atlee Pine has been searching for her twin sister, Mercy, who was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Mercy’s disappearance left behind a damaged family that later shattered beyond repair when Atlee’s parents inexplicably abandoned her.
 
Now, after a perilous investigation that nearly proved fatal, Atlee has finally discovered not only the reason behind her parents’ abandonment and Mercy’s kidnapping, but also the most promising breakthrough yet: proof that Mercy survived her abduction and then escaped her captors many years ago. 
 
Though Atlee is tantalizingly close to her family at last, the final leg of her long road to Mercy will be the most treacherous yet. Mercy left at least one dead body behind before fleeing her captors years before. Atlee has no idea if her sister is still alive, and if so, how she has been surviving all this time. When the truth is finally revealed, Atlee Pine will face the greatest danger yet, and it may well cost her everything.

  3. I love books that grip you so much that you have to read it all within the day! It's been awhile since I've read a book that grabbed me in such a way, but I'm so glad that it sounds like Mercy did that for you :)

  4. I loved this so much! I also read quickly because having read from the beginning I wanted to know. But does it have to be the end of the series?

    1. It was so good, right, Anne? I tried to look and see if this is the ending of the series, but I wasn't able to figure it out. I think there's potential for more books, but I thought that about the Will Robie series and still haven't seen any new books coming.

    1. I've been reading him since before Goodreads. I've enjoyed his Camel Club series and more recently his Will Robie series. Great action-packed thrillers. Both Atlee Pine and Will Robie are great audios!

  7. A book you can read all the way through in one setting says a lot about how good and compelling it is! I haven't read any books in this Baldacci series, but it does sound like a series I would like. :)

  8. I've read only one of Baldacci books. I really have to be in the mood for male authored thrillers. This one about a twin sister sounds fab though. May I recommend, "The kind worth Killing"
