Miracle Creek would make a GREAT choice for book clubs. The characters and their motivations were all complicated, opening up a range of topics for discussion and leaving room for divergent views.
Other than that, though … I found it well written but a little dull. The characters were complex and the plot was complicated, so in theory it should have been great. But it felt like a slow read all the same. I would definitely try another book by the same author, though.
