## Description

Winner of the Edgar Award for Best First Novel A Time Best Mystery and Thriller Book of All Time The “gripping… page-turner” ( Time ) hitting all the best of summer reading lists, Miracle Creek is perfect for book clubs and fans of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng How far will you go to protect your family? Will you keep their secrets? Ignore their lies? In a small town in Virginia, a group of people know each other because they’re part of a special treatment center, a hyperbaric chamber that may cure a range of conditions from infertility to autism. But then the chamber explodes, two people die, and it’s clear the explosion wasn’t an accident. A powerful showdown unfolds as the story moves across characters who are all maybe keeping secrets, hiding betrayals. Chapter by chapter, we shift alliances and gather evidence: Was it the careless mother of a patient? Was it the owners, hoping to cash in on a big insurance payment and send their daughter to college? Could it have been a protester, trying to prove the treatment isn’t safe? “A stunning debut about parents, children and the unwavering hope of a better life, even when all hope seems lost" ( Washington Post ), Miracle Creek uncovers the worst prejudice and best intentions, tense rivalries and the challenges of parenting a child with special needs. It’s “a quick-paced murder mystery that plumbs the power and perils of community” ( O Magazine) as it carefully pieces together the tense atmosphere of a courtroom drama and the complexities of life as an immigrant family. Drawing on the author’s own experiences as a Korean-American, former trial lawyer, and mother of a “miracle submarine” patient, this is a novel steeped in suspense and igniting discussion. Recommended by Erin Morgenstern, Jean Kwok, Jennifer Weiner, Scott Turow, Laura Lippman, and more-- Miracle Creek is a brave, moving debut from an unforgettable new voice.

Review: Breathtaking... In so many ways! - "It was almost as if the fates conspired to manipulate that day's events in in just such a way to lead [...] to light that match." This was a BREATHTAKING read. Breathtaking in that I didn't know where this crafty, complex mystery was going to throw me next. Breathtaking in that it's the heartbreaking story of devoted, exhausted, loving, and loveless parents, all of whom are willing to go above and beyond for their children. And, well, breathtaking in that it centres around an experimental medical procedure involving pressurized oxygen: A procedure that is newly being tested in a barn in Miracle Creek, VA. A barn that's about to go up in flames. Literally. Who is willing to endanger and end innocent lives? What motive could they possibly have? It may be a small town where everyone seems to know everyone, but, as the townspeople of Miracle Creek are soon to discover in a gruelling trial, nobody really knows anyone, do they? This story, like the solution to the mystery itself, is the sum of what feels like a million tiny details. Author Angie Kim is masterful at pivoting from character to character, stopping only long enough to allow one single drop of detail blot an entire clear vision of what's to come. Each detail made me want to keep going, so much so that I polished the book off much quicker than my average read. This is a story in three strands - Miracle Creek is more than just an edge-of-your-seat courtroom drama. And it's more than a medically charged mystery. It's also tragically beautiful tale of first-generation Korean immigrants just trying to get a slice of a promised better life in America. Each strand of the tale is legitimized by Kim's firsthand experience: She's a Korean immigrant, a formal trial lawyer, and a mother to a "submarine" patient. Her story is what charges the narrative here. We're lucky to have her as a new voice - I can't wait to read whatever she publishes next. I cannot recommend this book enough. Be sure to get a copy.
Review: An excellent debut by this obviously promising author. - If I had to describe this book in one word it would have to be 'original'. Miracle Creek includes themes such as the problems faced by immigrants and the issues faced by families raising children with special needs. As well it is a book about a particularly nasty crime, its resultant court case and the resounding effects this all has on many peoples' lives. Apparently the author has experienced some of the issues herself and she seems to write from the heart. I could understand how the mothers of these special children loved them totally but still lived with the guilt of sometimes wishing they were not there. There are some rather gory deaths and many possible suspects, all equally unpleasant people intent on protecting themselves rather than helping solve the crime. In fact most of them are positively hindering an outcome. The court room scenes are excellent and very entertaining. I felt that the book ran out of steam a little towards the end and the conclusion was a weak spot in the book. So four stars from me for an excellent debut by this obviously promising author.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Meh
*by B***R on January 4, 2026*

Interesting story. Simply told, and not always in a good way. Not sure that it earns all of its accolades. Unsurprisingly, the only straight white character in the story is a putz and unsurprisingly, that leads to gushing accolades from the likes of Oprah and the book club set. A little TMI in places where it wasn't needed and could use an editorial trim. The ending is a little contrived. Not great, but horrible either.
