Who's killing the girls of Willow Bay? 

When the body of a missing girl washes up on the banks of the Willow River, the killing is linked to two cold case murders, and the investigation must uncover the twisted motive of a serial killer before he kills again. Still reeling after her sister’s brutal murder, grief-stricken Eden Winthrop has returned to Willow Bay, where she runs the Mercy Harbor Foundation, a safe haven for victims of violence. When a teenage trafficking victim disappears from a shelter run by her foundation, Eden is drawn into the search for the sadistic killer. The hunt becomes personal when Eden's niece is abducted just as the body of yet another victim is discovered in a local river. In a desperate effort to save her niece, Eden must partner with the small-town police force that had failed to save her sister. And to catch the killer, she realizes she must trust the one man she vowed to never forgive and summon the strength to face her deepest fears.

The gripping first book in the page-turning Mercy Harbor Thriller series will keep you up at night.


About Melinda Woodhall~

Melinda Woodhall is the amazing author behind the page-turning Mercy Harbor series. She is also the author of the Veronica Lee series. She writes women's contemporary fiction under the name of M.M.

She currently resides in Florida with her family and is a proud mama of 5 children.


My Thoughts~

A thriller filled with suspense and intrigue! 

This is the first book in the Mercy Harbor series. In this book, we are introduced to Eden Winthrop, who runs Mercy House, in honor of her dead sister who was murdered by her husband. Eden is drawn into a world of abduction, sex, drugs, and abuse when a young girl running from trouble shows up on the steps of the shelter house. Before Eden can help the young girl, she disappears. Eden is determined to figure out who this mysterious girl is. In the process, she is drawn into a world filled with lies, deceit, and secrets. Will Eden discovers the identity of the young girl? Will the police be able to help?

The River Girls is a great book that keeps readers on their toes. With all the secrets, twists, and turns, you never know what will happen next. The author did a fantastic job of weaving the storylines together. She had a cast of strong women that lead the show and amazing supporting characters that bring the story together. She did a great job of building the characters. You quickly understood why they did what they did and what their roles were. The characters worked well together and brought the story to life.
It's a wonderful thriller that deals with topics in the news today.
