A modern retelling of The Crucible but not in the strictest of terms, Salem Falls was a page-turner and was full of mystery and suspense. I liked how the protagonist was a male and the story of his life was told in reverse chronological order via flashback. As is typical in Picoult's books, the story is interwoven with flashbacks and the whole thing doesn't come together until the end leaving you unsettled until you finally finish the book! Creative, clever, and thought-provoking, I think this might be my favorite Jodi Picoult book yet!   hide
