The Plain Truth

by Jodi Picoult

A good friend borrowed me this book and I really enjoyed it. It is about an Amish teen that is accused of murdering her newborn baby, and Ellie, her slick city lawyer. Ellie has to stay with Katie at all times, living among the Amish.

There are a lot of layers to the book and a surprise ending that I did not see coming (I thought I had my suspect nailed), with the clues along the way. The plot twists and the complex characters kept me guessing.
I like Picoult's style of writing and really got into the story. I felt like I knew the characters and found myself thinking of them after I had finished the book.

It is worth a re-read.
