HOUSE RULES BY JODI PICOULT

HOUSE RULES BY JODI PICOULT:  Believe me when I tell you I would have never chosen to read a book from this author but it was my "blind date" book from my local library so I picked it and I read it.  I did not read all of it because the middle part of the "mystery"  was the trial which drug on and on.  Needless to say I was very surprised that what sections I did read I enjoyed.  I enjoyed the characters they were well rounded and very believable, from Emma the mother to Oliver the attorney  the author created a  pretty well rounded story.  If only the murder trial had not slugged its way thru most of the book it would have gotten higher ratings from me.
