The Memory Trees by Kali Wallace

3.0

Wow! That's all I can say. No spoilers here. This book was beautifully written and engaging. Like most mystery stories it winds a story. The scenery and details of this gothic Vermont farm town are well drawn out like a portrait. This tale of women, history, and family abuse is deep and aged. There is something familiar and rough in the story. Something that chilled my bones. This is a suspense. I will say that the part that kept this an okay book vs an amazing book for me was the interwoven family history. Chapters are dedicated to the ancestors and they aren't interconnected or transitioned well. It's so much info and early on deters the reader from the main plot. I often felt confused during the first half of this book.
