House on Fire by Bonnie Kistler
3.0
This is indeed a book for Jodi Picoult fans. Kistler has a similar style and MO. A death, a juicy trial and plenty of bumps on the way.
I liked the main storyline but found the sub-plots of Devra and Jenny to be superfluous, and distracting. What they accomplished was the introduction of John Stoddard and a possible owner of the mysterious house behind 10 ft brick walls; both of which could have been executed in a better way.
I also found the character of Leigh to be irritating, as she peddles the story that her husband left her, when in actuality she couldn’t stand the sight of Kip, so he left with his son and removed him from a bad environment.
Overall, it was a good read.
