“When tragedy strikes, will Dani Ross have The Quality if Mercy?
Successful sleuth Dani Ross faces her most harrowing challenge ever when Tommy Cain, an embittered parolee, threatens revenge against the Ross family.
Although drug-related crimes and acts of violence coincide with Cain’s release from prison, the police cannot pin anything on him. Dani is paralyzed by fear over the ex-con’s threats, especially as they target her family and friends. When tragedy strikes, Dani vows to go after Tommy Cain herself.
Undercover as Margo St. Clair and Flash Manti, Dani and her sidekick, Ben, shadow Cain and his cronies down dark alleys and into smoke-filled dives along Decatur Street in the French Quarter. The quest comes to a close in the murky waters of a swamp filled with alligators.”
I have a love/hate relationship with this book. It is necessary for the development of the characters, but it is such a sad, and kind of depressing, book.
Dani has had a ton of internal battles, especially since book three, and can’t ever ask for help. That combined with her not knowing what to do about Ben and Luke, makes her hard for me to enjoy in this book. She works through many of her issues, but still needs to figure out the Ben and Luke thing.
She is going through a lot of loss, which is something I don’t enjoy reading. I know it helps people, but it just makes me sad, especially when she loses her father. She is also so in her head for this book, that I didn’t enjoy the mystery as much. She was a sloppy investor for this and Ben spends most of the time trying to rescue her from herself.
Also Rob, Dani’s brother, is going through a ton of stuff and that’s kind of a sad thing.
Overall it really is a good book, it’s just not one that is going to pick up a mood.
