Publisher's summary

When two cross-country cases collide, Bree Taggert and Mercy Kilpatrick join forces to catch a serial killer in an addictive novel of suspense by bestselling authors Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot.

During a vicious heat wave, a county maintenance worker stumbles upon two suspicious suitcases abandoned by the side of the road. Sheriff Bree Taggert responds to find two bodies stuffed inside the luggage. The press demands action. The community is on edge. Suddenly, Bree is at the center of a media firestorm.

In Oregon, a senator’s daughter goes missing. FBI Special Agent Mercy Kilpatrick agrees to keep the politically sensitive case on the down-low. When she finds a link between the disappearance and a double homicide three thousand miles away, Mercy takes the next plane out—and lands right in the middle of Bree’s double homicide investigation.

To save the missing girl, Bree and Mercy must work together to stop a killer who’s playing deadly games with the press and stirring up public rage. Hungry for notoriety, he dares Bree and Mercy to catch him before he kills again.

Critic reviews

“Grisly, gripping, and riveting. Two brilliant law enforcement pros join forces to hunt a twisted serial killer. Elliot and Leigh have created a page-turning, edge-of-your-seat thriller that kept me up late. I recommend!”—Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

“One ruthless serial killer plus one FBI agent plus one homicide detective equals a propulsive game of cat-and-mouse that kept me glued to the page and checking my locks. Echo Road maps the darkness of a human heart and the light of female friendship.”—Tess Gerritsen, bestselling author of The Spy Coast

“What do you get when you pair up two genre masters? A double-barrel blast of crime fiction awesomeness.”—Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author

More Bri and Mercy

I haven’t read Kendra Elliott’s Mercy series, but I will be starting today. I loved this collaboration of Bri and Mercy. Taggert is a favorite female centric character, and I eagerly await the next book in her series. I binged all of the books once I discovered them.
I enjoyed how the plot of Mercy’s story intertwined with Bri’s and brought them together to find the kidnapper / murderer. They are dynamic together and balanced each other. A true partnership once they were able share all of their cases details. Also, loved how they bypassed the NY FBI and his “order”.
I hope that Kendra and Melinda find more opportunities to bring these two strong female characters together many more times. I can only imagine the cases they can work.

This was great

The subject matter of this book was a little difficult, but it was great having Mercy and Bree together. I would love to have more of them together.

Outstanding sheriff/FBI collaboration

This story shed some good and bad on FBI vs local law enforcement. FBI has the resources; however local law enforcement has local knowledge. Outstanding collaboration between two caring women who are good at their jobs. Their task is to outsmart a serial killer before he can strike again

it was ok

nothing special would’ve preferred a lesbian romance between the two. the criminal was wild but no real twists and turns. too straightforward. unimpressed but entertained.

So much fun!

Two of my favorite authors, two of my favorite characters, and two of my favorite narrators all rolled into one! Wow! Thank you! Well written, well paced, great plot and superb character development, as usual. I love these narrators-voices are consistent and crafted in such a way that all the characters are easy to track. Can't wait for the next Bree/Mercy (maybe Truman and Matt as well) collab!
