For over a century, the town of Gossamer Grove has thrived on its charm and midwestern values, but Annalise Forsythe knows painful secrets, including her own, hover just beneath the pleasant facade. When a man is found dead in his run-down trailer home, Annalise inherits the trailer, along with the pictures, vintage obituaries, and old revival posters covering its walls. As she sorts through the collection, she's wholly unprepared for the ramifications of the dark and deadly secrets she'll uncover.
A century earlier, Gossamer Grove has been stirred into chaos by the arrival of controversial and charismatic twin revivalists. The chaos takes a murderous turn when Libby Sheffield, working at her father's newspaper, receives an obituary for a reputable church deacon hours before his death. As she works with the deacon's son to unravel the mystery behind the crime, it becomes undeniably clear that a reckoning has come to town--but it isn't until another obituary arrives that they realize the true depths of the danger they've waded into.
Two women, separated by a hundred years, must uncover the secrets within the borders of their own town before it's too late and they lose their future--or their very souls.
My Review:
This book was phenomenal!! The plot spans over a 100 years where the lives of the ancestors of Garrett Greenwood, Annalise Forsythe, and Eugene Hayes are seemingly yet inexplicably tied together. Embark on a tale of mystery, suspense, and intrigue that will have you wondering how the pieces fit together. Truly it is a tale of complexity and depth and rich in the language it uses to describe scene after scene. It is hard to put down, and I was riveted as I read wondering what new things would be arising in the story. It is rare that I find a story that has such beautiful writing, such complexity and depth, and holds my interest due to the mystery/suspense/intrigue factor. It is truly a well-done book! I loved reading this story and highly recommend it!!
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
