I really liked the flow of this book and thought it was well written (as with my opinion of all the Jodi Picoult's I've read). My only disappointment with this book was that it used the setting of Salem Falls (a town with a statue of one of the victims of the Salem Witch Trials) to create a plot along the lines of a witch hunt. This made me roll my eyes on more than one occasion as I have read enough of Ms. Picoult's books to know that her imagination is much better than this. However, the writing prevailed and I did enjoy the book regardless of that opinion.
