Book Reviews of Roseflower Creek: A Novel
Book Review: a redeeming & endearing read!
Summary: 4 Stars
ROSEFLOWER CREEK could have been sappy & sentimental, instead this author's debut novel is an absorbing, fascinating glimpse of how a child looks at adults' behavior & the dangerous relationships we foster.Until Lori Jean's grandmother dies, she had kept Lori Jean's universe safe. When her auntie & uncle move to their own home, Lori Jean's mother's new husband begins to make their lives ugly. So ugly that eventually, in a drunken rage, he does the unthinkable.
Why Lori Jean's mother lands in jail for murder makes for a satisfying read.
ROSEFLOWER CREEK could have been a dreadful read about another family destroyed by bad choices & domestic violence. It is, however, not so dreadful because J. L. Miles has crafted a fine mystery, told in the voice of a victim who is like no victim we've met before.
Well done!
