Lori Armstrong may just be the best mystery writer that you don't know about yet. She's
got one series already (The Julie Collins series) and has been nominated for several
awards, but so far she's flown below the popularity radar. No longer, at least if I can
help it. No Mercy is the first book in the series featuring former Army sniper Mercy
Gunderson who is one tough-n-tough woman who nevertheless fiercely loves her family. She
is on medical leave back at their South Dakota ranch trying to keep things together after
the body of a local teen is found on her land--and others begin to show up as well.
Armstrong worked in the weapons industry for several years before becoming a full time
writer, and is a 4th generation South Dakotan herself, so she's made Mercy very nuanced
and believable. She's the kind of woman you want in your corner, and I guarantee after
reading this first book, you'll be eagerly waiting for the next to spend more time with
her. The author's love of the ranch lands of the west comes through crystal clear as
well with her ability to vividly set a scene. You do NOT want to miss this book!
