    • Brilliant, articulate, highly listenable.
    • "Old white guy here, if that matters. I have to say I was gobsmacked at how good this is... I got it the day it was released (yesterday) and just finished it. Wilkerson's reportage, analysis, synthesis, and conclusions are spectacularly insightful. Everything she says resonates so perfectly that throughout the book I was thinking, Ah hah! Yes... And that was my tone consistently. There were no lulls, no head-scratching off-shoots. If someone living in the U.S. or curious about the U.S. reads only one book even only tangentially related to race, let it be this one. Goodness, what a terrific book. And the narration by Robin Miles is flawless. Wow." —GM, Audible Listener

    • Rank this with the best in true crime.
    • "This was the most compelling book I have listened to in years. It's not like any other audio book. Interwoven stories, research, interviews, from multiple points of view. If you're interested in true crime, detective work, profiling, sensitive accounts from victims and police investigators... you will be captivated. I can't really say enough about it. 6 hours flew by in a flash. And such a relief to have an ending like this one." —Allison S., Audible Listener

To find out it is based on a real family is mind blowing. Truly insightful and very compelling. Also the narration is wonderful and to anyone who listens to books, you know how important that is!" —Michelle N., Audible Listener

    • One of the most important books of our time
    • "Societies are judged by how they treat their least fortunate members. But most of us aren't aware of the injustices perpetuated in our own country. Just Mercy gives us a glimpse into the unjust, corrupt and inhumane world of the U.S. criminal justice system and one man's struggle to help its victims. If you only read one book this year, this should be it. Have a box of tissues handy." —Diane, Audible Listener

    • Transformative
    • "A perfect combination of personal stories and social sciences research that validates feelings I’ve held for ages but couldn’t articulate them so clearly. I am so glad the author chose to read it herself on audible as I think only she could communicate the subtle humor and sarcasm that made this book so enjoyable. I intend to buy a hard copy to highlight my favorite parts to reference when I inevitably feel angry at current events or personal experiences. This is a must read." —ashleybk, Audible Listener

This book reminded me very well why I fell in love with reading and is lighting the fire in me to write my first book as well.

    • Words of wisdom no matter your age.
    • "Mr. Rogers is the hero and role model we should all seek to become. His words and compassion are timeless, despite being simple in concept. Even his messages about how to treat children are super relatable and relevant even to those of us without children—they can help to strengthen our bonds and communication with others, since we are all still children inside. This is a well-delivered book and is worth a listen." —GreenestFairy, Audible Listener

    • An inspiring story of courage and heart
    • "Virginia Hall stands as an early model of overcoming character. Battling bias against women, a physical handicap, and being unsupported in the world she wished to inhabit, she nonetheless became a life-saving hero of WWII. Her story is well-retold by Sonia Purnell and very well-read by Juliet Stevenson. Highly recommended." —Helene, Audible Listener
