The Mercy Killers

Summary: Another Triumph
Review: I find it amazing how Lisa Reardon can put a voice to a population we see every day but never see. With out falsely glorifying, Lisa takes the story of the people who live day by day, making the choice to survive regardless if it is the right choice. I'm too young to remember the Vietnam era but I do know many bars like the one portrayed, and she hits the culture right on. When one has no family, they find family where they can. Lisa has a real knack for dialog and makes the each person an identity instead of a stereotype. As before, I loved this book and can't wait for the next.

Review: Lisa Reardon is baaaack!
After Billy Dead and Blameless, Ms. Reardon has returned with a powerful new novel, THE MERCY KILLERS. This book allows you to fall in love with characters one by one as they trudge through tough lives, difficult tests of their wills and MURDER. Watch out for the twists and turns in this one, buddy. There are some scenes that could cause the occasional wonder of what that 'bump in the night' really was (Mississippi Blonde). Have fun and make sure you have some covers to pull up!

Summary: Mercy Killers
Review: Once again Lisa Reardon makes us feel passionately about characters that inhabit the dark, sad underbelly of society. It is a talented writer that makes you cry and laugh on the same page and root for people for whom we usually distain in real life. Her writing is sad and hopeful and so true it makes your heart ache. I couldn't put this one down until it was finished and it left me wanting these characters to make it. Bravo Lisa, this one's your best yet!
