You will find yourself wondering what you would do in Marshall's situation. Strong characters, emotional drama, and a good dose of suspense makes Have Mercy one of the best books of the year. With Have Mercy, Earl Sewell proves that the art of telling a good story still exists. Reviewed by Radiah Hubbert for Urban Reviews

Law'd Have Mercy! I won't give out the details, because you must read it for yourself. There is no other way to give it the justice that it deserves. I will say this, when I finished reading this book, all I could say at that time was have mercy!!!! Once again Earl has pulled you into his world/life of the characters that are portrayed in this book. He has taken his writing to another level as you, the reader get's caught up in the relationship situations and a whole lot of drama. I couldn't put it down! I laughed,I cried and was so in to this book that I talked out loud to it!!!! Oh the tangled webs we weave. The ending blew me away. When the characters connected at the end all I could say was "Have Mercy". You must read this book! Book clubs this is definitely a winner! Thanks Earl for sharing your story and please keep them coming!!!!!!

Have Mercy,Have Mercy!

Yes, Earl has done it again, This book was very good, I enjoyed it soooooooo! finished in two days. I just wished that Marshall and Stacy would have somehow re-established a friendship after they stopped grieving, after all they were married for a number of years. Luther had a hard life, and because of it he made a lot of wrong choices in his life, but meeting Carmen Changed his circumstances and saved his life in the end. Glad that Marshall and Carmen found one another......but I think the story can continue....Hint, Hint. Thanks, Earl for another great story.

Mercy Mercy Me

You will be forced to read this book quickly because the suspense is too much to take! Have Mercy is a story in part that shows just when you think you have gotten away with a wrong doing it comes back to show you that you thought very wrong. Luther has had a rough life mainly due to his mother's drug addiction. A beautiful woman falls for him and helps him get his life together. Marshall and his wife, Stacy, have a daughter who is killed by a hit and run driver (Luther is the driver). This tears their marriage apart due to Marshall's overwhelming grief and his determination to find his daughter's killer. While they are going through hell, Luther thinks he can go on with life as usual. Not so fast Luther.........not so fast.
