I
am a couple of days past this book's release date with my review, but
this book just could not be rushed. Jaime Jo Wright is definitely one
of my most favorite authors. This book, like her others, has a
haunting quality to it that is difficult to describe. Her writing has
a way of wrapping itself around your soul allowing you to live within
its borders. Deep themes, this time pertaining to grief, are
essential elements to Wright's works. No lighthearted beach reads
here. These books are best read curled up in your cozy spot with a
warm drink nearby and time to immerse yourself in reading and
pondering undisturbed.
Echoes Among the Stones
tells the tale of Imogene Grayson's efforts to solve the mystery of
her sister's violent murder in 1946. It also tells the tale of Aggie
Dunkirk's efforts to solve the cold case of that same murder in the
present day. Someone is manipulating Aggie to pick up the case while
at the same time thwarting her efforts. With the help of of
archaeologist Collin O'Shaughnessy, Aggie perseveres as she feels
that solving this case will also help explain things she has never
understood about her persnickety grandmother. Serendipitously, it may
also help her to come to grips with consuming life circumstances that
would seem totally unrelated.
I
am very grateful to have received this book from Bethany House via
NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary
compensation.
