I enjoy historical novels with a mystery as part of the plot. The story opens in 2017 when Rowen Chase finds bones buried under the floor of her guest house. It takes place during the Tulsa Race Riots in 1921 and is told in alternative timelines. Throughout the entire story, we are left to wonder who the bones belong to and how they ended up under the floor. In flashbacks to the past, we see the race war heating up and follow Will and his family as they navigate the times.
I really enjoyed the historical aspect, and it led me to do more research on the Oklahoma riots, as that is, unfortunately, not something I remember learning about in school. This one is definitely worth the read!
