Blurb:
Former Army MP Mercy Carr and her retired
bomb-sniffing dog Elvis are back in Blind Search, the sequel to the
page-turning, critically acclaimed A Borrowing of Bones
It’s October, hunting season in the Green Mountains—and the Vermont wilderness has never been more beautiful or more dangerous. Especially for nine-year-old Henry, who’s lost in the woods. Again. Only this time he sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the heart with a fatal arrow, Mercy thinks that something is murder. But Henry, a math genius whose autism often silences him when he should speak up most, is not talking.
Now there’s a murderer hiding among the hunters in the forest—and Mercy and Elvis must team up with their crime-solving friends, game warden Troy Warner and search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear, to find the killer—before the killer finds Henry. When an early season blizzard hits the mountains, cutting them off from the rest of the world, the race is on to solve the crime, apprehend the murderer, and keep the boy safe until the snowplows get through.
Inspired by the true search-and-rescue case of an autistic boy who got lost in the Vermont wilderness, Paula Munier's mystery is a compelling roller coaster ride through the worst of winter—and human nature.

My review:
Oh, what a
tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
Blind Search
is a terrific mystery. Mercy & Elvis
are back and entangled in another murder mystery and keeping a special little
boy safe. This story takes place in Vermont in the autumn and the location is
as much a part of the story as the suspects. I really enjoyed this story and
look forward to more adventures with Mercy & Elvis.
