Miracle Creek both fascinated me and disgusted me in a million and a half ways, but at every turn, Kim overturned your expectations of each character. What seemed logically to lead down one path would veer to another, and the end left you feeling vindicated that at last you found the truth. These people drawn together with the best intentions ultimately lead to disaster, and it was difficult to put down. This book will stick with me for a long time.
