Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 |   Thanks to St Martin's Press for access to a digital ARC on NetGalley. Spencer28 | Aug 16, 2022 |  ) whybehave2002 | Aug 12, 2022 | Meanwhile, Troy is trying to find out who murdered a wildlife biologist who was making a documentary about young moose. And he's trying to find a way to mend things with Mercy. When someone sets off a pipe bomb at Mercy's grandmother's house which would have killed her had Elvis not alerted and Mercy not managed to push her grandmother aside and cover her with her own body, Mercy has even more incentive to solve a number of mysteries that are surrounding her family. The story has lots of action from bombs to snowmobile chases. It also has lots of emotional intensity as Mercy tries to decide if Elvis would be better off if she let him go with his first handler. Fans of the series, and this is book three, will enjoy this episode. New readers will find an intriguing assortment of characters and the wonders of Vermont. (  ) kmartin802 | Jun 28, 2022 | There's much to like about the "bones" of this series. Mercy herself is a strong, fascinating character as are others like game warden Troy Warner. Munier also brings her setting of the Vermont outdoors to life. Of course, there is also the very strong draw of the resident working dogs: Elvis the Belgian Malinois, a former war dog suffering from PTSD, and Troy's search-and-rescue Newfoundland mix, Susie Bear. (I do wish that Munier would stop referring to Susie's "pumpkin head" so much, however.) There's even the added bonus of a third dog, a gorgeous golden retriever, Sunny, whom Mercy calls the "mood ring of dogs." If you enjoy multi-layered mysteries set in the great outdoors and filled with marvelous dogs and strong humans, you should become acquainted with Paula Munier's Mercy Carr series. Do that, and you've set yourself up for some mighty fine reading. (Review copy courtesy of the publisher and Net Galley) (  ) cathyskye | Mar 24, 2021 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Mercy and Elvis are back in The Hiding Place, the most enthralling entry yet in USA Today bestselling Paula Munier's award-winning Mercy Carr mystery series. When the man who killed her grandfather breaks out of prison and comes after her grandmother, Mercy must unearth the long-buried scandals that threaten to tear her family apart. And she may have to do it without her beloved canine partner Elvis, if his former handler has his way.... Some people take their secrets with them to the grave. Others leave them behind on their deathbeds, riddles for the survivors to solve. When her late grandfather's dying deputy calls Mercy to his side, she and Elvis inherit the cold case that haunted him-and may have killed him. But finding Beth Kilgore 20 years after she disappeared is more than a lost cause. It's a Pandora's box releasing a rain of evil on the very people Mercy and Elvis hold most dear. The timing couldn't be worse when the man who murdered her grandfather escapes from prison and a fellow Army vet turns up claiming that Elvis is his dog, not hers. With her grandmother Patience gone missing, and Elvis's future uncertain, Mercy faces the prospect of losing her most treasured allies, the only ones she believes truly love and understand her. She needs help, and that means forgiving Vermont Game Warden Troy Warner long enough to enlist his aid. With time running out for Patience, Mercy and Elvis must team up with Troy and his search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear to unravel the secrets of the past and save her grandmother-before it's too late. Once again, Paula Munier crafts a terrific mystery thriller filled with intrigue, action, resilient characters, the mountains of Vermont, and two amazing dogs"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In addition to investigating a cold case involving the disappearance of a battered woman, Mercy Carr and her Belgian Malinois, Elvis, have their hands (and paws) full dealing with the fallout of a prison escape as well as the arrival of a former army vet with claims on Elvis.
Series note:This is book #3 in the series. While the mystery itself is standalone, much of Mercy's personal and familial background is presented in the first two installments.
Paula Munier's characters, both human and canine, are well-developed and appealing. Despite the somewhat repetitious phrasing and a couple of continuity errors, the mystery is well-plotted and more straightforward than in the previous books. It is fun following along with the clues and the revelations even if most of the twists are predictable.
The biggest issue with the previous book, i.e., Mercy and Troy's angst, is resolved quickly and satisfactorily. Kudos to Munier for not dragging this out unnecessarily. I look forward to seeing where Munier takes these characters next.
Overall, this is recommended for animal lovers who enjoy suspenseful mysteries. (
