Miracle Creek by Angie Kim

4.0

"That was the thing about lies: they demanded commitment. Once you lied, you had to stick to your story."

What a debut. Miracle Creek is a twisty, layered, and compelling page-turner that takes us inside and outside of a Virginia courtroom to uncover the motive and individual behind a fatal explosion at a small HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) facility in a rural town.

The characters (many of whom are unlikable) are complex people with flawed personalities who have probable motives due to the withholding of their own secrets, which drives this novel. They all seek a better life in different ways. But at what cost?

The unfolding nearing the last couple of chapters gripped me. I don't read many courtroom dramas. But after reading this one, I def need to change that.
