Still good 9

One finds Mercy, which is soon find themselves even in a horrible situation. She does not do it on purpose, not really, but she is stubborn and longer trusts his instincts and common sense as orders given to him!
A slightly twisted plot to Agatha Christie, this time among the fae, of disturbing ...
Again P.Briggs succeeds where others fail miserably: the heart of Mercy balance and it is not however a tidy, far from it ... His feelings and those of his two "contenders" are both touching and credible.
Very quietly the author alludes to the abuses suffered by children, with restraint and emotion. (This topic is also addressed with the same discretion, in "Dragon Bones" followed by "Dragon blood", excellent fantasy. I recommend it, it contains all the assets of the author, I loved).
Finally the icing on the cake humor P.Briggs is waiting for you!
