More Life as a Dog by L.A Davenport

Miracle creek- Angie Kim- Medical thriller /Courtroom drama

A very unusual plot with a mystery and several twists along the way. Several people are

undergoing hyperbaric treatment (the book explains it) for either autism or infertility.

During one dive there is an explosion and two are killed and several injured. On

investigation a fire was found to have been started near the oxygen supply outside the

tank.  Was this the deliberate act of one of the parents? Was the owner negligent in

not being at his post? Who owned the cigarettes and match book that were found

nearby in a distinctly no smoking area around the tank? This is a legal thriller with

parts going back to the time of the explosion (a year before the trial ) and before

that to give the scenario from the various differing perspectives. A multi themed

book which touches on a whole gamut of emotions in the different characters,

each one seemingly having a reason or even a motive for starting the fire which

caused the explosion or at the very least something to hide. It took me a while to

get into this as there are numerous characters to get to grips with. Some I took to

and some I really didn’t (as with any good book!). Various ethical issues are involved

from autism through to immigrants labour hours. A different read and one that is

thought provoking.
