Summary
A Wall Street Journal bestselling series。 The mystery of three missing teens and a traumatizing murder unearths decades of buried secrets in a shocking novel of suspense by a Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author。 Twenty years ago， five teenage campers disappeared。 Two eventually turned up， bound and left for dead on the Columbia River’s rocky shore。 Only Devin Bonner miraculously survived， but with no memories of what happened in the Oregon forest。 After decades， the cold case generates heat for FBI Special Agent Mercy Kilpatrick and her husband， Police Chief Truman Daly。 They’re investigating the murder of a true-crime podcaster found at the river’s edge in the same location， and with the exact same manner of death。 With the discovery， Devin’s nightmares return。 His only real friend is Ollie Smith， Truman’s orphaned ward， whose own search for the truth sucks Ollie into a mystery far greater and more dangerous than anyone imagined。 Following a trail of fresh blood and an escalating series of murders， Mercy and Truman must work fast to unlock whatever traumas are buried in Devin’s memories before the secrets of the past claim another victim。

Shocking surprises and a fast paced mystery are what this author is known for。 Mercy and Truman are back。 I for one can’t get enough of them。 Ollie is front and center on this story。 A twenty year old crime that has never been solved。 New murders that keep you guessing and a huge secret that will have you saying OMG！！

The Mercy Kilpatrick series is one of my favorite series， I know it will be a quick and fun read。 I enjoyed that there was less prepping in this book when compared to the previous books。 I also enjoyed the character growth， and involvement of Ollie。 It seems as though we read about the members of the community as well as though directly involved in the case each time we are in Eagles Nest。 I miss the Mercy Kilpatrick series and am hoping she will be coming back！I want to thank Netgalley and Mont The Mercy Kilpatrick series is one of my favorite series， I know it will be a quick and fun read。 I enjoyed that there was less prepping in this book when compared to the previous books。 I also enjoyed the character growth， and involvement of Ollie。 It seems as though we read about the members of the community as well as though directly involved in the case each time we are in Eagles Nest。 I miss the Mercy Kilpatrick series and am hoping she will be coming back！I want to thank Netgalley and Montlake for an ARC of this book。 。。。more

Kendra Elliot’s Columbia River series has a great new addition。 At the River builds on a twenty year old cold case that involved 5 teens， 3 disappearing， one murdered， and one survivor left badly injured with few memories of what happened。 Mercy Kilpatrick （FBI） husband Truman Daly （police chief） Noelle Marshall （sheriff’s department）， and， as the story progresses， Truman’s ward Olle， find themselves investigating the cold case upon the death of a podcaster。 The podcaster was investigating the c Kendra Elliot’s Columbia River series has a great new addition。 At the River builds on a twenty year old cold case that involved 5 teens， 3 disappearing， one murdered， and one survivor left badly injured with few memories of what happened。 Mercy Kilpatrick （FBI） husband Truman Daly （police chief） Noelle Marshall （sheriff’s department）， and， as the story progresses， Truman’s ward Olle， find themselves investigating the cold case upon the death of a podcaster。 The podcaster was investigating the cold case and they seek why he was murdered in the same manner as well as being left in the same location as the one teen many years before。 The group makes quite a team following clues and hints， murders， physical attacks of residents， and records of the original case。 Though part of a series， this book can stand on its own as I’ve discovered most of her series books do。 The main characters are well developed， back history added for explanation and you find yourself really liking them as individuals， officers of the law， and family。 It’s a quick suspenseful read with twists， turns， and surprises。 Highly recommended。 Thank you Montlake and Netgalley for the ARC。 。。。more

Love， love， love this author and this story does not disappoint at all - Another 5 star read。 There is something comforting about a good series where you can easily fall back into synch with the characters and Elliot does not disappoint with the latest Columbia River series and bringing Mercy and Truman back as the main characters as they work to unravel a decades old cold case

This is book 5 in the ‘Columbia River’ series and you definitely need to have read the previous books in the series and in the Mercy Kilpatrick series to know all the characters and relationships going on。‘At The River’ finds FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick and her Police Chief husband Truman Daly investigating the death of a radical true crime podcaster who is found at the edge of the Columbia River。 What makes the case intriguing is that two bodies were found in the exact same spot on the river ban This is book 5 in the ‘Columbia River’ series and you definitely need to have read the previous books in the series and in the Mercy Kilpatrick series to know all the characters and relationships going on。‘At The River’ finds FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick and her Police Chief husband Truman Daly investigating the death of a radical true crime podcaster who is found at the edge of the Columbia River。 What makes the case intriguing is that two bodies were found in the exact same spot on the river banks over twenty years ago。 And that cold case hasn’t been solved yet。 Working with the sole survivor of the decades old attack Devin Bonner， Mercy， Truman and Truman’s son Ollie race against time to try to solve both cases before even more bodies pile up。 I really enjoyed ‘At The River’。 I find reading a Mercy Kilpatrick book is like a nice， warm hug。 It’s compelling， well written， solid， police procedural featuring a great group of characters that you enjoy catching up with。 And the surprise storyline involving Ollie was a nice touch。 I don’t want to give anything away， but my spider senses tingling and I totally guessed that ending。 This was a classic Kendra Elliot book and I look forward to reading more in the series。 4 stars from me。** I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher** 。。。more

I always enjoy the Mercy Kilpatrick books immensely and wait eagerly for the next one as soon as I finish the last。 The action and plot twists in At The River kept me on my toes， and the characters， Mercy， Truman， Ollie， Noelle， etc。， pull you in and make you love them。 The only aspect of the book I didn’t enjoy were the side thoughts of the characters in italicized print that were too frequent。 For some reason， they broke up my flow of reading and seemed out of place。 #attheriver。 #netgalley

At the River is a story about a family who comes together in the strangest of ways。 It's also about a 20 year old murder and some government substation attacks。 The mystery of the 20 year old murder ultimately ties together the entire story that really starts with a recent murder of a Podcaster。 For me personally the book moved very slow and didn't get me to a point where I couldn't put the book down。 A normal book of this length might have me finishing in 2 days but this one took me a week。 The At the River is a story about a family who comes together in the strangest of ways。 It's also about a 20 year old murder and some government substation attacks。 The mystery of the 20 year old murder ultimately ties together the entire story that really starts with a recent murder of a Podcaster。 For me personally the book moved very slow and didn't get me to a point where I couldn't put the book down。 A normal book of this length might have me finishing in 2 days but this one took me a week。 The story behind it was good but it just felt like they were never going to find the killer（s）。 It didn't draw me in and keep me on the edge of my seat so for me I'm only giving the book 4 stars and that's because the story was somewhat suspenseful and I enjoyed the family back story。 。。。more

As the one survivor his memories return brings us into another chilling story in this series。 A cold case of teenagers that had gone missing while camping。A woman frantic words her husband was missing， and he had a lot of enemies。 The incidents seem to be connected as Mercy and her team work the case。A series that has good characters and each book has a good plot。Given arc by Net Galley and Montlake for my voluntary review Feb 13， 2024

Back to Eagles Nest， and Truman and Mercy。 A new crime seems connected to a long cold case with only one survivor。 This is a well thought and and tightly woven story that I absolutely recommend。 You don’t need to have read the other Mercy Kilpatrick novels to understand this book， but it will certainly make it more enjoyable。 Hope this isn’t the last we see of these characters。

I have binge read every Kendra Elliot book since I found her。 This story wasn’t one of my favorites。I have loved the Mercy Kilpatrick series。 This one the murder/mystery part wasn’t what her usual stories are for me。 The continued look into her personal family life and its continuing changes were great。 There was a clever little twist I did not see coming。 I enjoyed this free advanced copy from NetGalley 。I’m leaving my opinions voluntarily。
