This story reminded me a lot of the 80s TV show Quantum Leap - in that Mercy seems to jump into bodies to set things right for the people involved. Though the novel touches on Mercy's past and her identity, the main plot centers on preparing for a musical performance and sleuthing. I loved that Mercy could add an extra dimension to her voice to literally make Carmen sing like an angel. The descriptions of their choir practices really made me wish I could listen in!
The mystery was also very satisfying and surprising. At the end, we finish with Carmen's story, but we can also look forward to Mercy inhabiting other bodies as the series continues.
MERCY is available in Australia now and will be published in hardcover in the US next month. Find out more about the author.

This sounds really intriguing. I'm going to look this book up and add it to my list.
You're not old enough to remember Quantum Leap! We really liked that show, so I'll have to look for this book.
I remember Quantum Leap! Great show. Sounds like this is an interesting book. I may have to give it a try.
I bought this book a few months ago but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I have the edition with the other cover though, and I really love that cover. I think I'll read this one next!
I adored Quantum Leap, so that alone makes me want to give this one a try.
I have not seen this on shelves here! Reminds me of Quantum Leap too. Great sounding premise.
