Book Overview
The fourth in Jess Montgomery's evocative Kinship series, The Echoes combines exquisite storytelling with extraordinary crime plotting.
"A beautifully written tour de force." --Linda Castillo on The StillsAs July 4, 1928 approaches, Sheriff Lily Ross and her family look forward to the opening of an amusement park in a nearby town, created by Chalmer Fitzpatrick--a veteran and lumber mill owner. When Lily is alerted to the possible drowning of a girl, she goes to investigate, and discovers schisms going back several generations, in an ongoing dispute over the land on which Fitzpatrick has built the park. Lily's family life is soon rattled, too, with the revelation that before he died, her brother had a daughter, Esme, with a woman in France, and arrangements have been made for Esme to immigrate to the U.S. to live with them. But Esme never makes it to Kinship, and soon Lily discovers that she has been kidnapped. Not only that, but a young woman is indeed found murdered in the fishing pond on Fitzpatrick's property, at the same time that a baby is left on his doorstep. As the two crimes interweave, Lily must confront the question of what makes family: can we trust those we love? And what do we share, and what do we keep secret?

Loved It !!!!

Another winner for Jess Montgomery. I have now read the entire Kinship series and I actually hated to finish The Echoes. I hope the author will continue on with this series. I am fully invested in these characters now. Lily is a female sheriff (unheard of at the time) in Kinship Ohio in 1928 trying to solve the murder or a young girl found in a lake and also trying to find her kidnapped niece that she just found out about yesterday. Together with her Mother and her best friends Marvina and Hildy she sets out to solve this case and find her niece. I will say that I have thoroughly enjoyed this series to the point that it is now hard for me to pick up another book to read. I will, of course, but these people have become my friends. That is a great author when you don't ever want the series to end. Looking forward to the next one.
