What is this book about?

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 review:

Creepy, yet clean. The suspense had me turning the pages and staying up late to finish the story. I just had to know who the villains were. Surprisingly, I didn’t care for any of the characters and had trouble connecting with them, but the mystery kept my interest where they didn’t. This author does well at exploring how flawed people interact with their Creator.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

The page turning suspense

What I didn’t like about this book:

The characters

Would I recommend this book to others? I would just for the suspense although someone might feel differently than I did about the characters. This is a standalone story.
