The voices of the
past cannot stay silent forever.
In 1910 Michigan,
Perliett Van Hilton is a self-proclaimed rural healer, leaving the local doctor
convinced she practices quackery. It doesn't help that her mother is a
spiritualist who regularly offers her services to connect the living with their
dearly departed. But when Perliett is targeted by a superstitious killer, she
must rely on both the local doctor and an intriguing newcomer for assistance.
In the present day,
Molly Wasziak's life has not gone the way she dreamed. Facing depression after
several miscarriages, Molly is adapting to her husband's purchase of a peculiar
old farm. A search for a family tree pulls Molly deep into a century-old murder
case and a web of deception, all made more mysterious by the disturbing shadows
and sounds inside the farmhouse.
Perliett fights for
her life, and Molly seeks renewed purpose for hers as she uncovers the records
of the dead. Will their voices be heard, or will time forever silence their
truths?
My
Thoughts:
The
Premonition at Withers Farm by
Jaime Jo Wright is a spooky mystery with a Cornfield Murders. Right from the
beginning of the story, Wright takes readers for a journey through a mystery
element and then does not let go. Murders occurred in the past, but the present
time mystery develops at the same farmhouse, but Molly, the present day
heroine, is trying to solve the mystery that happened over a hundred years ago
as well as her personal demons. Both stories are a little mysterious with deep
characters. In this novel, I liked Molly’s characterization better than
Perliett who seemed a little shallow, but I believe, Wright wanted her to be a
deeper character, but she was not. The mystery was nicely handled. I loved the
clues left in the present day that intertwined with the story from 1910. Made
the story appear richer. I wanted to see the connections. Why were they left
behind for Molly to see? What do they tell the readers about what happened in
the 1910 mysteries? The Premonition of Withers Farms by Jaime Jo Wright
is a wonderful novel. I love Wright’s stories. Mysteries and Thrillers are my
favorite genre with Historical Romance a close second. I hope there will be
plenty more of Wright’s stories. I love them.
I received a
complimentary copy of The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright
from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
