An impressive debut novel by former trial lawyer Angie Kim.
A Korean family own a hyperbaric oxygen therapy tank in a town called Miracle Creek, Virginia. The treatment involves sitting in pressurised oxygen chambers which they believe is effective treatment for autism and male infertility. The trouble starts when a fire started by an arsonist causes the chamber to explode killing two people and badly injury others. The novel covers the murder trial of the mother and boy who lost their lives. There are several people who have secrets and more than one possible person who may be responsible for the deaths. The lies and secrets just add to the confusion of what really happened and why.
Excellent characters, twisting plot and well written.
I enjoy courtroom drama and I found this a gripping read.
