Plain Truth
by Jodi Picoult
Typical entry in the Picoult universe - complete with a proven formula -- family crisis, questionable legal actions, and a twisty ending. The author does her usual thorough job with researching the details -- here in describing Amish life. Whether or not it's accurate, it is especially relevant to the plot of the young girl who has given birth in a barn, and is arrested for murder. I enjoyed the book --- mostly --- and like anyone who has read a Picoult novel, was waiting for the twist at the end, and wondered about the legality of some of the court proceedings.
Spoiler-ish note -- I had a feeling that it would be similar to Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent plot twist, and was not surprised.
