Read-Alikes for ‘Mercy' by David Baldacci | LibraryReads

PREMIUM

The History of Great Things

The format may be experimental, but the emotions the book will stir in readers are moving and heartbreakingly familiar.

No Ordinary Life

Redfearn's second novel (after Hush Little Baby) is a riveting story that will have readers wishing it could be even longer, especially with an ending that feels too neat and too rushed.

Dead Soon Enough: A Juniper Song Mystery

In her private detective, Cha has created a worthy modern entrant into classic L.A. noir fiction. An excellent choice for fans of Sue Grafton—Song shares many traits with Grafton's Kinsey Millhone, including doggedness, earnestness, and pragmatism. [See Prepub Alert, 2/23/15.]

Things You Won't Say

Recommended for fans of Pekkanen's previous works and "ripped from the headlines" stories.

Love May Fail

An easy, enjoyable, and thoughtful read with laughs and tears along the way. Quick's devotees won't be disappointed. [See Prepub Alert, 12/6/14.]

Amy Falls Down

Funny and whip-smart about the modern book world, Willett's novel is also profound and touching on relationships, aging, and self-reflection. Absolutely recommended, whether or not you read The Writing Class, and especially if you're a voracious reader or a writer, a publisher, a critic, or a book blogger. [See Prepub Alert, 1/25/13.]

Reminiscent of the works of John Irving, with its close-knit but oddball family, weird tragedy at regular intervals, and its very dark sense of humor, this is an engrossing and rewarding read.

The Best of Us

Pekkanen (These Girls), switching among the four narrators, is deft at finding each woman's voice, displaying all sides of eventual conflicts. Her strong narrative pulls the reader steadily through the book, with tension mounting as the weather worsens and real danger arrives in the form of a hurricane. A solid entry in the "women's fiction" genre (aka chick lit that skews slightly older).
