The House on Foster Hill

 
Picture
Author: Jaime Jo Wright
Genre: Historical Fiction/Suspense 


​Kaine Prescott is no stranger to death. When her husband died two years ago, her pleas for further investigation into his suspicious demise fell on deaf ears. In desperate need of a fresh start, Kaine purchases an old house sight unseen in her grandfather's Wisconsin hometown. But one look at the eerie, abandoned house immediately leaves her questioning her rash decision. And 
when the house's dark history comes back with a vengeance, Kaine is forced to face the terrifying realization she has nowhere left to hide.

A century earlier, the house on Foster Hill holds nothing but painful memories for Ivy Thorpe. When an unidentified woman is found dead on the property, Ivy is compelled to discover her identity. Ivy's search leads her into dangerous waters, resurrecting painful memories and forcing a reunion with the man who broke her heart. Can Ivy unravel the mystery and find a renewed hope before any other lives--including her own--are lost?

Reviewer: Kelly Potts

This is a fantastic read that interweaves the stories of Kaine (present day) and her ancestor Ivy (1906). The transition between eras was seamless. Their individual plights were suspenseful. Both Kaine and Ivy find faith, hope and comfort in the least likely place - in the words written by a murdered girl from 1906. Both women use their individual skills to help those in need. Ivy searches for clues to a murder and keeps a journal to give meaning, in words, to those who have died. Kaine helps abused women escape the clutches of evil. I look forward to reading more from Jaime Jo Wright.

Reviewer: Laura J. Davis

When I saw the cover of The House on Foster Hill I was intrigued. When I read what it was about I knew I had to read it. I was not disappointed. This book was incredibly hard to put down. It was a rollercoaster of emotion, danger and intrigue right from the get go. Where it finally led left me gobsmacked. I was not expecting what happened and I can't tell you because that would spoil the whole book. 

If you like mysteries, this is definitely a book you want to put on your list. It is a combination of historical and contemporary fiction because both major characters, Ivy and Kaine, are working centuries apart to solve the same mystery. Both women are strong characters. One (Ivy) is trapped in the past, by the death of her brother. Her compassion for the lost and the dead gets her into a lot of trouble. Kaine, has great compassion as well, for hurting and abused women. But rather than going out to look for trouble, it seems to follow her. Both women are separated by a hundred years yet their lives are remarkably entwined. 

The author has done a marvelous job of keeping me guessing and keeping me up late at night too! Like I said, it was hard to put down. If you like mysteries and suspense (with a little bit of romance here and there) you will love this book!

Reviewer: Kandace Perry

The cover - I was intrigued by the cover. The shadows and the winding staircase drew me and left me wondering what mystery was beyond the top step.

The House on Foster Hill is hauntingly beautiful. It is filled with heart-wrenching pain, dreams waiting to be fulfilled, broken spirits trying to be set free and through it all God was there in the midst of the darkness and the discovery of betrayal and brutality. Wright reminds us that God is with us when we think no one else is. He sends people into our lives at times we need it the most. God is present in the heartache and redeems us victoriously 

The House on Foster Hill is filled with secrets and stalkers, mystery and murder, darkness and despair and light and love. It holds you in suspense page after page until the final word is breathed.
