Rated The Truth of It All 6/10
<div>Duck Creek is sort of like a fictionalized Whitefish, MT, with a refugee program like the one that exists in nearby(ish) Missoula. And unfortunately like the Whitefish/Kalispell area, it has a white supremacist problem. Trouble is, our protagonist doesn't ever fully realize she's guilty of her own racist assumptions at the beginning of the book. Sure, she eventually figures out that she was badly doing her job as a public defender, and sure she's got a Black coworker who very patiently endures her ignorance, but of course everything works out for her in the end, and she only has to complete <em>most</em> of a personal reckoning. Don't strain yourself digging too deep, girl!<br><br>I was interested in seeing how the story shook out, and the writing style reminded me of other mysteries I've liked, and I'm not sorry I read it, but I didn't find enough compelling about Julia to want to read another book with her at the forefront. Your mileage may vary! </div>

Don Quixote is often cited as the first modern #novel - a book about a man who reads so much he starts living inside stories.

Rated Torchwood: The Victorian Age 10/10
Captain Jack and Queen Victoria chasing a monster through London? A good time for me.
Rated Apples Never Fall 10/10
I thought this would be more of a mystery/murder novel, really it was a deep look into a family's history and background. All the main characters get some viewpoint time and they are all very well developed, plus the plot of the story is sort of gradually revealed in flashbacks and partly through the police investigation. Also several short chapters with one-time viewpoint characters (mostly neighbours or friends of the family) show up too. I liked it a lot more than I was expecting too, maybe I'll try some of her other books too.
