I've just finished reading "Acts of Mercy" the 3rd book in her Mercy Street series by Mariah Stewart.
Product Description
Former FBI agent Sam Delvecchio brings the keen skills of a profiler to his new position as a Mercy Street Foundation operative–and not a moment too soon. His first assignment, the cold-case murder of a local soup kitchen volunteer, has all the telltale signs of a serial killer’s work. That grim suspicion is confirmed when FBI agent Fiona Summers shares the details of two other killings with eerie similarities to Sam’s case: The bodies in all three cases have been carefully posed. And when a fourth victim is discovered, the two investigators realize they’re pursuing the same twisted quarry.
Local parish priest Kevin Burch, Mercy Street founder Robert Magellan’s cousin, recognizes the posings for what they are: The killer is staging the church’s seven Acts of Mercy (“Feed the hungry, clothe the naked . . .”) with the bodies of his victims. But as Sam and Fiona race to prevent the final three murders, taunting messages from their target lead to the most chilling realization of all.

My Review:
Storyline: There were two storylines the first one was who was killing all these men and why? The second one was finding out who has Robert's baby boy?
Characters: All the characters were well written and you got to know them and care for them.
Romance: I enjoyed the romance between Sam and Fiona because they both are loners and they understood what each was going through. They also worked for the same boss. I also hope that Robert and Suze get together.
Killer: The killer wasn't as well written and I didn't really care for him. Glad to see he got what was coming to him. I can see his point of view but why kill all those people?
Glad to see previous main characters mentioned and for some making an appearance in this book!
4/5
