Miracle Creek has a lot of things going for it as I will explain in this evaluation, which certainly appeals to a wide range of readers, but there’s a big difference between the two novels. It’s a pure coincidence that I posted this review the week after the movie version of Where the Crawdads Sing – another book that received a lot of hype upon its release. A showdown unfolds among various characters who may or may not be keeping secrets in regards to what happened. Miracle Creek takes place over a course of four days and follows a murder trial after a hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) chamber explodes and kills two people including an autistic child in a small town in Virginia. And given the plot, I knew I had to read it. I remember looking at the May 2019 issue of Book Pages magazine and seeing the book cover on it. Miracle Creek – the debut novel of Angie Kim – was popular when it first came out. Once readers finally have a chance to read about the titles in question, they might ask, “What did people see in this book?” When certain novels get popular, there’s a risk that they can be overhyped to the point that it might ruin their appeal.
