Story
The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: Circumstantial evidence suggests that 18-year-old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn's mother, took the child's life. When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide - and for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own.

Not my favorite
Reviewed: 02-10-24
I enjoy Piccoult’s novels, but this one has a distinct Lifetime or Hallmark movie flavor that I did not enjoy. Worth a listen (or a read), but doesn’t have nearly the same punch as some of her more poignant work like Mad Honey, 19 Minutes, or Small Great Things.

Gruesome, Timely, and Terrifying

Another win from the master of horror! King’s character work and pros are impeccable. Holly is the perfect read not only for the spookiest season of the year, but also from a pandemic-posterity perspective.

Story
Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

A Series of Unbelievable Events
Reviewed: 08-23-23
A deeply contrived novel full of plot twists that hinge on coincidences, improbabilities, and character decision-making so bizarre one has to wonder if the author concocted the twist first, then had to find some way to justify it within the context of their story.

Story
Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to see if the impossibility of her own full recovery from an eating disorder was all in her head. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world’s most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment—the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones.

Well written, well read, and heart-breaking Ky relevant. As someone battling their own eating disorder, I found it both enlightening and soothing to hear someone else share their story.

Story
This lush novel, set in 1766 England and America, evokes an era ripe with riot and revolution, from the teeming streets of London to the sprawling grounds of a Virginia plantation. Mack McAsh burns with the desire to escape his life of slavery in Scottish coal mines while Lizzie Hallim is desperate to shed a life of sheltered subjugation to her spineless husband. United in America, their only chance for freedom lies beyond the Western frontier - if they're brave enough to take it.

Not his best work
Reviewed: 06-26-23
As always, Follett is a master of historical fiction, with impeccable detail about his era of choice. But the characters are pretty basic and the plot run of the mill. Entertaining, but not my favorite of his books.

A gross, mediocre thrill-less thriller
Reviewed: 05-04-23
Great first half of the novel- sets up an interesting mystery. However, the twist is predictable, leading into a mediocre “thriller” second half starring Claire, who is as dumb as she is uninteresting.

It takes the story a while to build momentum, but the payoff is sudden and totally worth slogging through the first half of the book.
