The Moonflowers

The Moonflowers - Abigail Rose-Marie

When Tig goes to the town that her family used to live in to honor her grandfather's memory, she had no idea what kind of man he was. So beloved of the town but the longer she is there, the more sinister it all seems. He was murder and the person who murdered him is still in jail and the story she weaves has Tig wondering just who the true hero was.

OOHHHWEEEEE This book was so good! The book straddles the past and the present. Eloise was found guilty of the murder of Benjamin, Tig's grandfather. Tig wants to know about her grandfather and Eloise was the one who knew him the best. Eloise tells the story of how she met Benjamin as kids up until his murder. I was obsessed with the past part of this story.

Tig was a little bland as a character considering the rest of the characters were livewires. There's some trauma in this book so beware that there is abortion, child death and sexual assault in this book.

It was excellent, the ending was marvelous and even if you don't read historical fiction, this one is well worth the step outside your comfort zone.
