The Haunting At Bonaventure Circus Review

 

 

 About the Book

 

 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. (Goodreads)

My Thoughts

 

Oh my goodness I could not put this book down. I knew it was going to be good but honestly this book was better than expected! The setting is fantastic and I learned a lot about the circus. The dual timeline was written flawlessly and I completely loved both stories. The characters were unique and I felt like I got to know each of them. I love how the author writes about real life tough stuff. The characters aren’t perfect in any way, they are all broken and searching. This is what makes the book all the better because she introduces the reader to hope. The suspense in both story lines was fantastic and the ending did take me by surprise. The romance side of things was interwoven perfectly.

Getting to read a Jaime Jo Wright novel is pure enjoyment. This story was also extra special as it includes a baby elephant!

Everything written by this author is my favorite.



Five Stars.
