Echoes Among the Stones

by Jaime Jo Wright

Description

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.

Mystery seems to follow her when she finds work as a secretary helping to restore the flooded historical part of the cemetery. Forced to work with the cemetery's puzzling, yet attractive archeologist, she exhumes the past's secrets and unwittingly uncovers a crime that some will go to any length to keep quiet--even if it means silencing Aggie.

In 1946, Imogene Grayson works in a local factory and has eyes on owning her own beauty salon. But coming home to discover her younger sister's body in the attic changes everything. Unfamiliar with the newly burgeoning world of criminal forensics and not particularly welcomed as a woman, Imogene is nonetheless determined to stay involved. As her sister's case grows cold, Imogene vows to find justice . . . even if it costs her everything.

My Perspective ~

Jaime Jo Wright has honed the edge at creating another time-slip novel! Time frames attached by the threads woven between them reveal how the past has touched the present with a substantial intensity. Intrigue, relationships and suspense are revealed, as unforeseen and unpredictable enigmas surface throughout Echoes Among the Stones. Family ties are strong and reach across the span of time from one generation to the next, and onward, impacting both Aggie and her Mumsie, and the conundrums that confront them. The cast of characters is well described and unique, adding much depth to the plot.

Creative writing at its best is revealed throughout this story of the past and its affect upon the present. Wright uses poetic license in her descriptions, creating pictorial scenes that add artistry to her narratives. Unpredictable and mysterious, this suspenseful novel kept me guessing as events were revealed. I have read all of this author's novels, and highly recommend each of them, as they all stand on their own merits. Echoes Among the Stones will remain my permanent library, and will be read again in the future.
