Goodreads rating: 4.58 - 209 ratings
My rating: boring, but didn't finish so won't rate
Setting: somewhere in Wisconsin both in 1946 and current time
First line/s: Imogene Grayson, Mill Creek Wisconsin, July, 1946. "She should have paid more attention to her longtime neighbor, Oliver Schneider, when she passed him on the road at dawn."
My comments: I made it - forcing myself - through the first third of this book, but it was too boring, oh so boring! S L O W. Didn't really care for the reader either. It's the beginning of a new year, so I'm not going to force myself to finish! (Note: I didn't care for either of the protagonists in either time period, either!, just couldn't engage with either of them at all.)
Goodreads synopsis: After Aggie Dunkirk's career is unceremoniously ended by her own mistakes, she finds herself traveling to Wisconsin, where her grandmother, Mumsie, lives alone in her vintage, though very outdated, home. Aggie didn't plan for how eccentric Mumsie has become, obsessing over an old, unsolved crime scene--even going so far as to re-create it in a dollhouse.
Mystery seems to follow Aggie when she finds work as a secretary helping to restore the flooded historical part of the town's cemetery. Forced to work with a puzzling yet attractive archaeologist, she exhumes the past's secrets and unwittingly uncovers a crime that some will go to any length to keep hidden--even if that means silencing Aggie.
In 1946, Imogene Grayson works in a beauty salon but has her sights set on Hollywood. But coming home to discover her younger sister's body in the attic changes everything. Unfamiliar with the burgeoning world of forensic science and, as a woman, not particularly welcomed into the investigation, Imogene is nonetheless determined to stay involved. As her sister's case grows cold, Imogene vows to find justice . . . no matter the cost.
