Mercy 
asked by gilbert on November 16, 2006 6:05 AM
Police chief of a small Massachusetts town, Cameron McDonald makes the toughest arrest of his life when his own cousin Jamie comes to him and confesses outright that he has killed his terminally ill wife out of mercy.
Now, a heated murder trial plunges the town into upheaval, and drives a wedge into a contented marriage: Cameron, aiding the prosecution in their case against Jamie, is suddenly at odds with his devoted wife, Allie -- seduced by the idea of a man so in love with his wife that he'd grant all her wishes, even her wish to end her life. And when an inexplicable attraction leads to a shocking betrayal, Allie faces the hardest questions of the heart: when does love cross the line of moral obligation? And what does it mean to truly love another?
Praised for her "personal, detail-rich style" (Glamour), Jodi Picoult infuses this page-turning novel with heart, warmth, and startling candor, taking readers on an unforgettable emotional journey.

Every book by Jodi Picoult grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go. Mercy stands out from all the rest. You will not forget this book or the people in it for a long time.

I am a HUGE fan of Jodi and have read almost all of her books and I have to say that I really disliked this book. It found it was slow to start and I really coundnt get into it as I did her other books.

Although not her best effort, still a Jodi Piccoult book, and that's about a good a read as you can get. You can get lost in the worlds she creates and forget about your own troubles. You know the characters intimately and can't wait to pick up the book again if you are interrupted in your reading, which is what fiction is meant to be. The characters in Mercy are a bit fuzzy, but still the story carries you along with it. It makes you think about how far you would go for someone you love...
