For some reason I continue to be intrigued and saddened by the dark path that some people choose to make. With each story I read, or listen to, I shake my head throughout and wonder why. Without Mercy is another example of that. The author captured the story and the characters very well, with Kevin Pierce, a true expert at bringing a story to life through his voice. Throughout, I had compassion and contempt for Dee. But while totally responsible for her participation in the orchestration of the senseless murders, I do feel she was influenced to make the choices that she did, for all the wrong reasons. Should she have gotten the death penalty – I don’t think so. Life – yes. The other partners in crime – fry ’em.
