Can't Wait Wednesday: The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jaime Jo Wright

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jaime Jo Wright releasing July 3, 2018.

About the Book
For over a century, the town of Gossamer Grove has thrived on its charm and midwestern values, but Annalise Forsythe knows painful secrets, including her own, hover just beneath the pleasant faade. When a man is found dead in his run-down trailer home, Annalise inherits the trailer, along with the pictures, vintage obituaries, and old revival posters covering its walls. As she sorts through the collection, she's wholly unprepared for the ramifications of the dark and deadly secrets she'll uncover.

A century earlier, Gossamer Grove has been stirred into chaos by the arrival of controversial and charismatic twin revivalists. The chaos takes a murderous turn when Libby Sheffield, working at her father's newspaper, receives an obituary for a reputable church deacon hours before his death. As she works with the deacon's son to unravel the mystery behind the crime, it becomes undeniably clear that a reckoning has come to town--but it isn't until another obituary arrives that they realize the true depths of the danger they've waded into.

Two women, separated by a hundred years, must uncover the secrets within the borders of their own town before it's too late and they lose their future--or their very souls.
 

Why I Need It
I loved The House on Foster Hill by Jaime Jo Wright last year. So, I was excited when I heard about her upcoming release and that it would be featuring a dual timeline, as well. Plus, the subject matter sounds really interesting.

What upcoming release are you eagerly anticipating?

  1. I've read some time-split novels like this before and enjoyed them. I hope you enjoy this one just as much, if not more, than her other book. Great pick!
