The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond

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.

This was a good book!
I didn't hit that "I can't stop reading!!!" stage until around 30% or so. But once I did, I really didn't want to stop. I think I read the last 50% or so in one evening :D
I did swoon over the Reverend Jocobus Corbin, just like the author (I'm assuming) and her friend. There was just something about that man with the mutton chop whiskers LOL
One thing I did notice is a repeat of certain words or phrases. "For all sakes and purposes" comes to mind right now :P This isn't a negative comment. I'm pointing it out because shows even published authors do this, not just me in my rambling, musing writing :-D
All in all, amazing book, and just like her other one, [b:The House on Foster Hill|34020199|The House on Foster Hill|Jaime Jo Wright|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1486928025l/34020199._SY75_.jpg|55018250], I like the jump between centuries. Her next book is already on my Kindle, so will read that one soon!!
