This powerful dual-timeline thriller drew me in from the beginning and held me fast to the end. This consummate storyteller’s ability to create two masterfully crafted, captivating storylines—one set in 1910 and the other in present day—and seamlessly weave them together into one remarkable story is amazing. Vivid descriptions and the skillful use of sensory imagery help you “feel” the story as you read. A stellar cast of memorable characters, a wonderfully crafted mystery-ladened plot, a thought provoking faith thread, and a touch of romance combine to make an incredibly fascinating read. Fans of mystery, suspense, and dual-timelines will love this book.

The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright is a spooky mystery with a Cornfield Murders. Right from the beginning of the story, Wright takes readers for a journey through a mystery element and then does not let go. Murders occurred in the past, but the present time mystery develops at the same farmhouse, but Molly, the present day heroine, is trying to solve the mystery that happened over a hundred years ago as well as her personal demons. Both stories are a little mysterious with deep characters. In this novel, I liked Molly’s characterization better than Perliett who seemed a little shallow, but I believe, Wright wanted her to be a deeper character, but she was not. The mystery was nicely handled. I loved the clues left in the present day that intertwined with the story from 1910. Made the story appear richer. I wanted to see the connections. Why were they left behind for Molly to see? What do they tell the readers about what happened in the 1910 mysteries? The Premonition of Withers Farms by Jaime Jo Wright is a wonderful novel. I love Wright’s stories. Mysteries and Thrillers are my favorite genre with Historical Romance a close second. I hope there will be plenty more of Wright’s stories. I love them.

'The dead don't speak. They don't talk. They don't interact with the living.'

I sometimes wonder how the mind of Jaime Jo Wright works. Her stories are just so entrancing. She does them in split time form and each time period is incredibly captivating. It's hard to tear yourself away for necessary tasks. You just cannot wait to see what is going to happen next in each time period, because they are linked. I was so totally caught up in this story and never suspected the things that wrapped it up. So well done!

My thanks to Bethany House Publishers for a copy of this book via the Net Galley platform. The opinion in this review is expressly my own.

Loved this novel! I believe it's her best yet! But Echoes Among the Stones will always be my favorite!
Just for the mystery that lies behind it.
This one has it's own special touches that I liked about it.
Some of it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I've experienced some of what Molly has.
My heart broke for Molly because I've been there and done that too. Going throughout that isn't easy. I miss my babies still.
Lots of wonderful characters that you will. come to know as you read this book.
I.think Molly is my favorite because I can connect with her more.
The cover of the book is awesome too. I really love when this author comes out with something new because she never disappoints really.
There's a bit of mystery in here too that will keep you turning the pages.
Sounds kind of weird but this is the author's style of writing. She's very good at it. This novel is no exception.
I've read every book she has written and I eagerly await for more stories from Jaime Jo Wright.
She certainly knows how to keep her readers interested and involved in the story at hand. I love that about her.
I highly recommend this. 5 stars for a job well done!
