I’ve been reading through the Mercy Kilpatrick series by Kendra Elliot and loving it so I figured I’d check out another book by her. The Next Grave is book six in the Columbia River series. I did read books 3 and 5 in the series which were great reads. The books can be read as standalone but the series brings together characters (including Mercy Kilpatrick) from Kendra’s other series. 

This book did not disappoint! It held my attention from beginning to end. I enjoyed Detective Evan Bolton and canine specialist Rowan Wolff’s characters along with the romantic aspect of their relationship. Kendra does an excellent job with suspense, depth, and character building. At this point, I will read whatever she is releasing. 

Thank you to Montlake & NetGalley for this advanced copy.
