The Poison Tree by Erin Kelly

4.0

WOW. This indescribably fascinating book kept me hooked from the first page to the last. Kelly's style of going back and forth between past and present is very effective... You know from the beginning that something bad is going to happen and that the protagonist's boyfriend has gone to jail for it, but you have to wait to see exactly what has happened, how, and why. I was proud of myself for figuring out one twist, but the last twist at the end blew the story out of the water. This would be a great book for a book club discussion as the characters are deep; it lends itself to a deep discussion on the topics of morality, ethics, devotion, love, faithfulness, pride, and duty. Read this book!
