The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jamie Jo Wright
Stand alone novel
Summary:
A century earlier, Gossamer Grove has been stirred into chaos by the arrival of controversial and charismatic twin revivalists. The chaos takes a murderous turn when Libby Sheffield, working at her father's newspaper, receives an obituary for a reputable church deacon hours before his death. As she works with the deacon's son to unravel the mystery behind the crime, it becomes undeniably clear that a reckoning has come to town--but it isn't until another obituary arrives that they realize the true depths of the danger they've waded into.
Two women, separated by a hundred years, must uncover the secrets within the borders of their own town before it's too late and they lose their future--or their very souls.
Opening Lines:
Libby Sheffield had never stopped to wonder what she would take specific note of if she ever stumbled upon a dead body. Still, she hadn't expected to pause in consideration of the black, patent leather shoes, the finely cut wool trousers, or the shirtsleeves cuffed at the man's wrists with cuff links boasting a scrolled G for Greenwood, his last name. Taking note of a corpse's clothing was certainly not important, but maybe it was merely a distraction to deter her from letting loose the longest scream she'd ever let scrape from her throat. The man's feet dangled in the air, any thrashing having long since ceased. His face...Libby looked away. His face wasn't one she ever wished to see again, though it was morel ikely than not permanently grafted into her vault of memories.
