Dead Mercy - Noelle Holten

 Dead Mercy - Noelle Holten

She read

Publication Date: Nov. 19, 2021


This is the fifth in the DC Maggie Jamieson series; it is the fourth one I have read.  Obviously, I enjoy Noelle Holten’s writing. Maggie, who in the past I thought was a bit too flighty, is starting to recognize her shortcomings and hopefully will continue strengthening her self awareness, techniques and skills. 


This is a well paced, fast read.  A solid police procedural, it delves into the savage world of institutional child abuse. I find Holten’s insight into and explanation of the British criminal justice very informative.   Although part of a series, I think this can be read as a standalone…although the constant reference back to the previous book might make readers want to seek it out.
