We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending April 24, 2016–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #4 in Hardcover Fiction) The Last Mile by David Baldacci: “Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars’s case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men’s families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth.” (April 2016)
(Debuted at #7 in Hardcover Fiction) Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice by Curtis Sittenfeld: “This version of the Bennet family—and Mr. Darcy—is one that you have and haven’t met before: Liz is a magazine writer in her late thirties who, like her yoga instructor older sister, Jane, lives in New York City. When their father has a health scare, they return to their childhood home in Cincinnati to help—and discover that the sprawling Tudor they grew up in is crumbling and the family is in disarray.” (April 2016)
