Bestseller Read-Alikes for the week of March 12th

Can’t wait to get your hands on the latest best-seller, but the hold list is too long? To tide you over, every week we’ll offer similar titles and authors to the week’s fiction and nonfiction best sellers.

Fiction

This week's #1 fiction bestseller is again Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult (click here for read-alikes from her book last week). Number 2 on the list is Victims: An Alex Delaware Novel by Jonathan Kellerman. Victims is the 27th installation of Kellerman's award-winning Alex Delaware mystery series and it begins when LAPD detective Milo Sturgis is called to a particularly gruesome crime scene. Det. Sturgis quickly calls on his friend psychologist Alex Delaware, to assist in the case. As more seemingly unrelated victims turn up bearing the killer's calling card, Sturgis and Delaware come under increasing pressure to end the bloody spree.

Other authors with similar writing styles to Kellerman are:

Tess Gerritsen - Author of the best-selling Rizzoli and Isles series, Gerritsen uses her knowledge as a physician to write detail-rich, fast-paced mysteries. Her plots often follow contemporary medical issues, as well as questions of medical ethics. Whether possessing the medical or the investigative expertise, Gerritsen's heroines must work their way through medical clues and track the villains, all while facing life-or-death situations. Try The Surgeon, the first in the series.

Stephen Walsh White- Boulder, Colorado, psychologist Alan Gregory also employs psychology and investigative techniques to help solve crimes in Stephen Walsh White's popular series. Cold Case features an old but unsolved case of the murder of two young girls. An intricately twisted plot, details of psychology and criminal motivation, as well as step-by-step investigation make this a good choice for Kellerman's fans.

Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It by Gary Taubes - Taubes examines the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change.
