A Bad Day for Mercy: A Crime Novel by Sophie Littlefield
4.0
★★★½
After a frantic call from her sister, Stella heads to Wisconsin to rescue her nephew from gangsters. When she arrives, she finds Chip (the nephew) cutting up a body on the kitchen table, while his girlfriend, Natalya armed with a bottle of Spray & Wipe and a whole bunch of rags cleans up.
Things are never as they seem in Stella's world.
A Bad Day for Mercy rambles a bit, but it's good fun and easy to forgive the occasional lack of direction. Stella's on again / off again relationship with the Sheriff is once again "off". It used to annoy me, but now I just don't care. These books are all about Stella, a 50 something woman who makes abusive husbands / boyfriends leave town (or disappear) and making ex-husbands pay their maintenance.
She has an assortment of tools and zip ties in Tupperware containers in her trunk, as well as a couple of unlicensed firearms, which she uses to great effect in her business.
