Book reviews: Boca author’s ‘Mercy Creek’ a strong police story
Boca Raton author M.E. Browning smoothly uses the police procedural to explore how Det. Jo Wyatt handles the vagaries of family — her own family, her police family and the family of 11-year-old Lena Flores, who disappeared after attending the fair in Echo Valley, Colorado.
The second novel in Browning’s new series, “Mercy Creek” gains its strength from its tight plot and realistic characters.
Unlike her self-centered, wild 16-year-old sister, Marisa, Lena is the good daughter of her divorced parents, Lucero and Tilda. She’s the one with good grades, is polite to her elders and an animal lover.
