My Review
If only I could give this book 100 stars rather than only five. This book, this author, I am so in awe! No one presents words in quite the way Jamie Jo Wright does.
If you were to give twenty authors the subject matter this book was composed of none would present it in the way this author does. I read so many books per year that I can truly get burnt out on the sameness
of the books, not so with this author's books.
She has just the presentation I am looking for, which is originality. Originality
is very hard to find in today's writing world. A time split novel, The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus is a novel of the past colliding with present on a collision course that's frightening yet fascinating .
It keeps you reading late into the night as you try to grasp what you're reading and process it. The past is amazingly connected to the present in ways you can't even begin to imagine.
If you don't read this book you are really missing out. I highly recommend it! Pub Date 01 Sep 2020 by Bethany House Publishers. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.

GoodReads Summary
1928 The Bonaventure Circus is a refuge for many, but Pippa Ripley was rejected from its inner circle as a baby. When she receives mysterious messages from someone called the "Watchman," she is determined to find him and the connection to her birth. As Pippa's search leads her to a man seeking justice for his murdered sister and evidence that a serial killer has been haunting the circus train, she must decide if uncovering her roots is worth putting herself directly in the path of the killer. Present Day The old circus train depot will either be torn down or preserved for historical importance, and its future rests on real estate project manager Chandler Faulk's shoulders. As she dives deep into the depot's history, she's also balancing a newly diagnosed autoimmune disease and the pressures of single motherhood. When she discovers clues to the unsolved murders of the past, Chandler is pulled into a story far darker and more haunting than even an abandoned train depot could portend.
