Some historical overlap that I first learned about while reading Killers Of The Moon Flower (David Grann) but with classic Lisa Wingate dual timelines perfection.

kspenmoll Fantastic, sobering book. 4w

AnnCrystal @kspenmoll it was a true masterpiece. I had to keep checking that it was indeed nonfiction because I just couldn't believe it was based on truth. Too scary! 📚💝. (edited) 4w

This thriller was really powerful and so compulsively paced, I couldn‘t put it down. This was a new author for me, I believe a debut, but you‘d never know it with the seamless way she crafted this story. An archeologist working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs is drawn into a mystery from her childhood that she thought she left behind. Set in Oklahoma and Rhode Island, this story was inspired by true events.

Julsmarshall I finished this yesterday and got my first #bookspinBingo blackout of the year. This was one of the 2 #Readordonate books I finished this month and a #roll100. I‘ve been helping my son move all weekend so just now getting around to posting. I‘ve already started my first book for June, bring on the summer reads! @PuddleJumper @julieclair @TheAromaofBooks (edited) 4w

A solid dual-timeline mystery set in the Winding Stair National Park in Oklahoma.

Shelterwood: A Novel | Lisa Wingate

Meh. Admittedly, this isn't my kind of historical fiction at all, but I had a hard time caring about any of the historical sections and the dialogue at times read like the characters were quoting from a history book. It was heavy-handed in many ways, and I enjoyed the author's note much more than the rest of the book. I suspect that Lisa Wingate isn't an author for me.

Butterfinger I wasn't a fan of the duel timelines of Before We Were Yours. Although, I learned some unknown history. I don't like that style of writing. Give me a huge family epic. 5mo

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list! 5mo

ferskner @Butterfinger sometimes timeslip can really work but yes, I generally agree with you that I'd rather have a family epic! 5mo

The Winter Sea | Susanna Kearsley

so-so

Finished this on the train back from a long weekend last week in Manchester Christmas 🎄 markets. disappointed with this one to be honest ; I adored outlander and ordered this from the library (thankfully didn‘t buy it ) after synop compared it to outlander. Dual time lines I love & usually I prefer the historical plotline but this never got going for me & I preferred the modern storyline.It was OK read & slightly dull for me

Finally got around to reading this Lisa Wingate from earlier this year, and as expected, I really enjoyed it! I did feel that some of the dialogue was a bit TOO expository, but overall I enjoyed this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
