No Mercy (Mercy Gunderson #1)

No Mercy by Lori Anderson is the first book in her Mercy Gunderson series. Mercy is a soon-to-be-retired Army sniper in a society where the general public is not comfortable with women in combat.

Now Mercy is back on her family's ranch in South Dakota. She did not make it back from the Middle East in time for her father's funeral, but she is now in charge of the ranch. But the Gunderson curse is still going strong - a body is found in one of the fields. The new sheriff who took over for her father is not moving fast enough and the locals ask for Mercy's help in finding a killer.

Armstrong has created a flawed but intriguing character in Mercy and a plot that will have mystery fans following the series.
