Miracle Creek is a complex courtroom suspense story that explores how many small acts, inaction, mistruths, lies of omission, etc. can combine to make one huge shit storm. I liked it. The novel focuses on 4 days of a trial as everyone's motives and stories unravel. I was …more pulled in enough to consume the book over 2 days. Some may not find it action-packed enough - it is an exploration of the human psyche - motivations and the stories we tell ourselves and others to justify our behavior. It leaves every single character exposed and flawed, and not necessarily likable. If this intrigues you then you will probably enjoy the book.

The author is a lawyer - and her attention to detail was noticeable and appreciated.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. (less)
