Echoes Among the Stones

This book is a dark read, with mystery covering seven decades.  I am not a mystery reader, so it was hard for me to get through this book.  There were some parts that were lighter, but for the most part, the overall sense of the book was a dark, foreboding plot.  If I had paid closer attention, I would not have chosen to read this.

Imogene made a promise to her sister that she would find the person who killed her sister.  Ever since Hazel was murdered, right after World War II ended, it has been Imogene's mission to find out who committed the crime.

When Imogene's granddaughter's (Aggie) career fell apart in flames, Imogene writes to Aggie, telling her that she has a broken hip.  Aggie comes to Imogene's home, thinking  she was going to be taking care of Imogene.  Instead, she gets a job at the flooded cemetery helping an archaeologist sort out who is buried where and bringing the records up to date.

There is enough intrigue to keep a reader involved in the book until the very last page.  The writing is excellent and the character development only adds to the story.  For those who love mysteries, Jaime Jo Wright is worth picking up anything she writes.

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and time switch to keep readers on their toes.

My thanks to Bethany House and NetGalley.com for providing the copy I read for writing this review.
