This is a well crafted thriller/mystery about two twins - Jeremiah and Isaiah - whose mother sacrificed her own life for theirs during World War II. Reunited decades later, the brothers (one a priest and the other a rabbi), embark on a perilous journey to Poland to discover who they truly are. As they begin to uncover the appalling secret of their chilling heritage, their very existence is threatened yet again. Will they survive? Of course, I can't say. But the story has a very surprising and unexpected ending. At God's Mercy is an entrancing read that raises heartrending questions regarding human nature, our belief systems and our very existence.The story had every element a good story should have. A stimulating plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. This absorbing and attention-grabbing work had me engaged from the beginning. The story flows from scene to scene effortlessly, and the author shows exceptional skill when it comes to storytelling.It's one of those rare stories that come along that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. I'm giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery of this intriguing story.A highly recommended read!
