Mercy Street

by Mariah Stewart, 302 pages

A small Pennsylvania town is shocked when two high school students are killed in a park and two others go missing.  When the police begin to suspect the missing teens of the murder, the missing boy's grandmother decides to hire a private investigation to find him.  Father Burch who runs the school that the teens went to convinces his billionaire cousin, Robert Magellan to fund the investigation.  He hires former police detective Mallory Russo who joins the hunt for the teens with the help of her replacement on the police force, Detective Charlie Wanamaker. 

I actually downloaded this one and listened to it.  Joyce Bean reads it and does an excellent job.  This was billed as romantic suspense which might be why the ending was fairly easy to pick out early in the story.  The story moved quickly and there were several side-stories going on along with the main plot of the missing teens, so I expect those will play out later in the series.  It was an entertaining read and not really "romancey" which might be a bonus for some and a drawback for others.
