Mercy Mercy

This was an exciting book.I was unable to put it down. My suspicions were going a new directions every chapter. The plot was absolutely wonderful and creative.

A WELL CRAFTED THRILLER

No one expected it. No one could believe it could happen in their town. A wealthy family living in upstate New York have the unthinkable happen to them.A murder rocks the suburbs, and raises many questions. As a woman lies dead, and her child missing, the police will leave no stone unturned, and gradually all key pieces of evidence will point the finger a the family's new nanny, a woman running from her past, and harboring dark secrets that could destroy her if they are found out. Gwen Amiel just wants to start over, and put the sins of the past behind her, but now this will not be possible, as she stands accused of the horrible crime. With no one to trust, Gwen turns to Nick Lawrence, the husband of the murdered woman, and with all the suspicious eyes peering at her, she will desperately search for the answers behind the crime, and what she will discover will be shocking...for in this small town no one is what they seem, and what looks like an unexplained tragedy, may actually be a perfectly executed plan.'No Mercy' is an entertaining debut novel; it builds up suspense page by page, and then starts twisting and turning, until it reaches a satisfying climax. Though slow in spots, the book remains readable for it's exploration of the dark side of it's characters, and when it shifts into high gear, it really cooks, becoming totally un-put-downable.S.E. Chase is a writer to watch. With a writing style similar to John Sandford, the author bursts onto the scene, and will have readers anxiously awaiting a follow-up novel.Nick Gonnella

A chiling thriller

Taking her six-year-old son Jimmy with her, Gwen Ameil left her drunk of a husband in Long Island to hide in Sohegan, New York. Once an antique storeowner, Gwen is happy to wait on tables at the Mecca Diner. First Nick Lawrence and then his wife Priscilla offer her a job as a nanny to their infant child Tess. Though the pay is quite good and the hours better, the health insurance is what sells Gwen on taking the job.However, Gwen is not prepared for the battleground that the Lawrence home feels like as Priscilla and Nick seem always at odds. When someone murders Priscilla and abducts Tess, the local law enforcement officials lean towards the new au pair as the killer. Although Nick seems to support Gwen's cries of innocence, she wonders who can she really trust, including him. Adding to her fears is the return of her spouse seeking to reclaim his son.NO MERCY is an exciting suspense thriller that leaves no prisoners. Although the story line starts slowly in order to introduce the key cast members, once the plot takes off it never looks back. The key to the tale is the characters, especially Gwen, who must feel like Job, getting it from all sides and than a few more angles beyond that. Still, the intrepid heroine does not idly sit back waiting for things to happen to her and her son as she fights back with all she has. Readers will chase after more novels by S.E.
