I love when I can laugh in the middle of a murder mystery. Jaime Jo Wright spins intriguing time slip novels.

My 4th of July weekend read! The dual narrative transitioned seamlessly and the mystery kept me from predicting the end. Also, Collin is the epitome of the dark academia aesthetic, which made me laugh (in a good way). Picked it up because of the cover and I‘m glad I did!

Got my work schedule last night ~ I'm not working so now I'm signed up to see Jaime Jo Wright!!!

The mystery part of this book was good. I didn‘t know who the murderer was until it was revealed. I liked the 2 different timelines and the pace that the information was shared. However, I thought this book could be a little shorter. I get her hair is black/straight and she‘s going to tuck it behind her ear. I get that Collin‘s hair is red. Didn‘t realize this was classified as Christian fiction. A lot of god talk. And how could god allow that👇🏻

The hubby is sick this weekend (had a fever last night and a slight fever this morning). So I‘m taking care of him and in between reading.

Of course because I have a free weekend to read I can‘t settle on a book! Not sure what I‘m in the mood for. I‘m going to read a chapter of each book and see which one sticks.

I feel like I could for a mystery or a fantasy. I just need a break from any book about any war!

Kicking off #JumpStart2020 with this audiobook.

I don‘t have a specific goal for the readathon. I‘m just going to read and see what happens. (I don‘t start school again until the 13th, so spoiler alert: I‘m going to read A LOT.)

Beach-walking this morning with this audiobook. 😍

Another thought-provoking and incredibly well-written split-time novel by Jaime Jo Wright! This book really delves into the process of grieving and the consequences of unresolved and unprocessed grief. It‘s emotional, raw, and quite relatable. If you enjoy split-time novels that unearth resolution to cold cases, you will absolutely love this book.

I can‘t even begin to tell you how good this book is!

Echoes Among the Stones is a time-slip novel and the past blended so perfectly with the present, it never felt like I was reading two stories that might have a connection.

It‘s haunting and heartbreaking.

It‘s a book you simply must read.

* FULL REVIEW at: jengalaxy4.wordpress.com *

I received a complimentary copy of this book. A positive review was not required. Opinions are my own.

Jaime Jo Wright has an amazing ability to write thrilling split-time fiction! In Echoes among the Stones, she weaves a 1946 murder into a modern-day cemetery mystery. Captivating from the first page, I raced through it wanting to know who killed Imogen‘s sister, Hazel and why and equally wanting to know how it would relate to the modern day story.

All in all, another stellar read, one not to be missed!

“After Aggie Dunkirk's career is unceremoniously ended by her own mistakes, she finds herself traveling to Wisconsin, where her grandmother, Mumsie, lives alone in her rambling old home. She didn't plan for how eccentric Mumsie has become, obsessing over an old, unsolved crime scene--even going so far as to re-create it in the dollhouse.”

I love suspense and unpredictability. This book has it. Split time novel involving a grandmother and her granddaughter and how they work through resolution of an unsolved murder and the grief with which they struggled.

Just a friendly reminder that this beauty releases on December 3 (whaaaat??? 😱) And, y'all, I know it's gonna be good!

When she finds work as a secretary helping to restore the flooded historical part of the Cemetery, Mystery seems to follow her. She ends up having to work with the cemetery‘s puzzling but attractive archaeologist and she ends up exhuming secrets from the past and accidentally ends up uncovering a crime that some will stop at nothing to keep hidden, even if it means silencing Aggie for good.
