Review: Hooked on Mercy!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I had no idea what to expect by looking at the cover of this book.  As soon as I read the excerpt I knew I wanted the whole short novel. I was hooked! Just as soon as I finished this one, I went and read the other four books that follow Mercy's mystery solving.  I do suggest if you want to continue with Mercy's stories, that you read them in order including the short novels: Coke With A Twist (short) Touch & Go (short) A Good Man Gone (novel) Diver Down (novel) Nowhere Fast (short).  They will make more sense and follow sequence of the characters.I loved the mystery and suspense, but most of all I loved the humor in which all of Hartoin's books are written.  I had a hard time imagining Mercy with Marilyn Monroe's face throughout all the books.  Couldn't think of a ditzy blonde as a nurse and a private investigator, but I guess that is what makes the books so interesting...to expect the unexpected.I believe I finished all the books in about four days.  These books are those that bother and irritate if you have to quit to do something else and make you stay up into the wee hours reading them.
