On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor by Jaime Jo Wright - A Book Review

   


Jaime Jo Wright's books are always worth the wait, and the desire for the next one always comes as soon as one finishes the last page of her latest release. On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor, like Wright's other books thus far, has a dark side, but would the light shine as bright without the contrast? This time slip story is set on an old, isolated estate in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on the shore of Lake Superior, both in current times and in the years just following the Civil War. Both protagonists, Adria and Kailey, get caught up in the hunt for pirated Confederate gold, legended to be hidden somewhere on the estate. Gold that others are also searching for, others who are not beyond killing for what they want. Wright develops this story with an unpredictable plot, one of my favorite characteristics of her writing. It is a tale that grabs hold and won't let go.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
