Review: Echoes Among the Stones by Jaime Jo Wright

About the book:

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she finds herself traveling to Wisconsin, where her grandmother, Mumsie, lives alone in her vintage, though very outdated, home. Aggie 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 a dollhouse.

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

In 1946, Imogene Grayson works in a beauty salon but has her sights set on Hollywood. But coming home to discover her younger sister's body in the attic changes everything. Unfamiliar with the burgeoning world of forensic science and, as a woman, not particularly welcomed into the investigation, Imogene is nonetheless determined to stay involved. As her sister's case grows cold, Imogene vows to find justice . . . no matter the cost.

My thoughts:

Echoes Among the Stones exceeded my expectations! After reading On The Cliffs of Foxglove Manor and not being a fan of it, I was a little nervous to start this one...but I'm happy to say that I really enjoyed it!

The story had a very good mystery that kept me invested AND I didn't find it too dark. I was surprised by the ending and finding out what really happened... The romance was okay, but not something that I truly cared that much about.

All in all, Echoes Among the Stones was a good read and one that I think fans of mysteries will enjoy.
