The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy
5.0
Wow. I can’t remember the last time a book had me in a hold like this one. The minute I put the book down, all I could think about was the next time I’d be able to pick it back up!
An eye-opening story set in the 1950’s about Loretta, a suburban housewife and mother of two in a complicated marriage who discovers that she has abilities to communicate with the dead. Her gift is deemed to be the devils work. However, she feels compelled to use it to help solve the murder of a young girl in her small town, and bring justice to others while dealing with a controlling and abusive marriage.
Loretta absolutely won my heart, she was strong, passionate, and put others above herself in a time where women were questioned, challenged, and ultimately punished for having a voice. I cannot wait to read more of Kennedy’s work - this story was well written and thoughtfully researched.
