It's another stunning novel from Jaime Jo Wright. Set along the coast of Upper Peninsula of Michigan, this intriguing ghost-murder mystery will grab you from the very beginning. To be inside a lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior is quite a treat. It's not as eerie as the author's books can be but the fascinating pull of lore and legend of ghosts and cold cases that has become the author's signature is still brilliant. I loved traveling between Rebecca's story in 1874 and Shea's story in the present time. The plot is complex with lots of twists and turns and I really enjoyed putting the pieces together with Shae and Pete.
Rebecca's story was more like watching a movie and trying to figure out what was happening to the poor girl with amnesia. Shae's story was more relatable and touchable with her career ambitions and deteriorating marriage. Romance was subtle in the story, as Shae and Pete had fallen away from romance. But they discover the true meaning of love through their harrowing journey - love that is sacrificial, constant, and steadfast.
If you enjoy dual time mystery, you will absolutely love this book. Jaime Jo Wright never disappoints.
