10/14 Review @ 5 Minutes for Books “It’s well-written and evenly plotted, with realistic characters that draw you in…. Highly recommended.”
10/14 Review @ Books of My Heart ” Jo does a great job with following the evidence in the face of extreme pressure.”
10/15 Interview @ A Blue Million Books
10/15 Review @ Buried Under Books “Police procedurals come in all shapes and sizes but, to my way of thinking, the most effective are those that allow the reader into the characters’ psyches. Ms. Browning does this quite well but then takes us further by giving us a compelling plot.”
10/16 Review @ Review Thick and Thin “The author keeps you guessing, not just about the ending, but also about the psychology or motive behind the crime.”
10/17 Review/showcase @ Addictedtobooks86 “The author does an amazing job of character development and developing a strong story that is sure to keep the reader engaged and interested.”
10/19 Review @ sunny island breezes “You’re going to get some adrenaline flowing and some surprises near the end of the book.”
10/19 Review @ The Book Connection “If you enjoy mysteries filled with secrets, tons of twists and turns, and powerful conclusions, you will want to grab Mercy Creek by M. E. Browning.”
10/20 Review @ Avonna Loves Genres “I am always amazed and intrigued with the intricate plotting and step-by-step investigations in this author’s stories. The plots and characters are both believable and emotionally engaging.”
10/21 Review @ Book Reviews & More by Kathy “With stunning twists and turns, M.E. Browning brings this clever police procedural to an edge-of-the seat, dramatic conclusion. I highly recommend this outstanding Jo Wyatt Mystery to fans of the genre.”
10/21 Review @ A Quiet Fury Books “Mercy Creek takes us to Echo Valley, Colorado, where the town is small, the landscape is vast, and the relationships are complicated.”
