Lost Among the Living by Simone St. James
4.0
This book started off slow. And I figured out the some of the twists and turns before they were revealed. But I still enjoyed the book.
Jo Manders is neither a wife or a widow after her husband's plane goes down in WWI. He hasn't been found dead or alive. With nothing to do, Jo works as an assistant for her husband's aunt, Dottie Forsyth.
The two have been tracking but return to the family homestead before Dottie's son Martin is set to return home. The Forsyth family has secrets and some in town think are cursed. Their daughter, Frances, died taking her own life years ago. The ghost of a man who is said to have died in the woods near the home is said to haunt the area.
As Jo learns more about the family she married into she becomes determined to find out what really happened to Frances.
While I've not read much set in this time period, I felt like I was watching the plot take place right along with the main character. This is the second book I've read by this author and am interested in reading more.
