This was the first Jodi Picoult book I read, and I bought it new because she is so popular with other PBS members. I was not disappointed. Her style and the small towns shoe writes about remind me of The Gilmore Girls, but with more crime. The characters, while not all likable, are believable and she does a good job of at least making their behavior understandable under the circumstances.

I have heard some criticize Picoult for not being literary enough, but I don't think that criticism is warranted - she writes entertaining books that will make yuo think.... though perhaps not very hard.
