MAD HONEY, by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan (A&U, $36.99)
You generally know where you are with Jodi Picoult: pick up one of her books and you’ll be thrown into the middle of a thorny moral dilemma, usually linked to a highly topical and controversial subject, whether that’s medical emancipation, abortion rights, school shootings or, when the occasion calls for it, a global pandemic (2021’s Wish You).
