*Death had been a guest here at Perdicament Avenue for decades, and it was clear that Death was not ready to check out just yet.*
Mystery in a small town with only two murders in its long history. And they both have connections to the same house, an old dilapidated manor house brought back as a Bed and Breakfast, shrouded in spooky tales. Norah Richman has grown up in the house but has no love for it since her sister was murdered and the killer never found. A famous podcaster, Sebastian Blaine,comes to research the first murder and Norah agrees to help him just to put an end to all the speculation, for the body of Isabelle Addington was never discovered.
The author captures the atmosphere of the 1910 setting and poses believable explanations for the lack of information on the first murder and its victim. Likewise, she slips into the present with unexpected events that satisfy our quest for resolution. Throughout the book, we see how fear affects different people. But as Polly speaks about her faith in her Creator, she will not let fear win. “Fear steals our joy and is the agony of those with no hope. It will not define us. Fear is the enemy we will defeat.”
Another winner from the Queen of Creepy.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Another page-turner by Jaime Jo Wright! It had me reading late into the night to find out if the mysteries would be solved and justice done.
A dual timeline story with some spine-tingling scenes, and a deeper theme underneath to connect the characters with hope and grace. Both heroines from each time period struggled with fear, anxiety, and loss. Their personal difficulties added a spiritual element to the story in the end as they dealt with grief. Learning to live and move on after suffering a loss is something I could relate to, and it made the characters seem more authentic. The scary scenes were more suggestive of suspense, and not too graphic. This author does the creepy factor well, playing on the imagination of the reader, but reveals the truth to explain it in the end. The "a-ha" moment was unexpected and had me guessing up to the reveal. A little bit of clean romance, but certainly not the focus.
Mystery fans should enjoy this one. Recommend! 4.5 stars

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Shepherd, Iowa—a small town with two unsolved murders in one hundred years. Both murders revolve around the farm house at 322 Predicament. As the story unfolds in a dual time-line, we find that is not the only thing each of the murders have in common. Both murders are resolved, and the central character in each of the murders discovers that she is stronger and more resourceful than she thought she was. Hope in the future comes to them with the discovery of the murderer. The book is well-wtritten. The characters are realistic, and I really cared about them. The suspense never fades. I was surprised by the resolution. If you are a mystery fan, reading about the happenings at Predicament Avenue would be a good way to spend a couple of cozy evenings in front of a fireplace. I will definitely be looking at Jaime Wright’s other novels.… (mere)

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review here and on my blog, Samwise Reviews. I was not familiar with Jaime Jo Wright’s work before this, but I will definitely be seeking her out. This story was split between 1928 and present day and each story was very well written and could easily have stood on its own instead of being combined. I enjoyed the mystery of the circus and the trials they were going through with the protestors, I also found The Watchman to be extremely creepy in a Scarecrow sort of way. The present day story had a single mom struggling to balance work & her son, on top of a ghost story and mystery of her own. Overall I really enjoyed both halves and how they came together.… (mere)
