“Montgomery shows us-and shows us in lyrical, heart-bruising style―that hurt only needs to find people once for it to echo through the rest of their lives. “Evocative setting and strong characterization.” I can’t recommend this series, and this particular book, more highly” While there are several deaths in the book, the message of community is the one I took with me. “Montgomery creates and writes about community in all its pain, beauty, and necessity. “As Lily solves these mysteries, she encounters other ones, about echoes from the past that continue to upend life in Kinship…The result is a powerful book to which the entire series thus far builds in an epic crescendo.” “In addition to creating characters who are likable and realistic, Montgomery is at her best when using powerful imagery to describe simple events.” Hank Phillippi Ryan, Book Trib ( Read more) “Touching and hauntingly researched, Jess Montgomery’s authentic voice in this novel is breathtakingly captivating… This is part of a series, but you can read them in any order, and with its deeply felt cast of characters, The Echoes is revealing and touching and absolutely terrific.” “This is the most ingeniously plotted book in the series so far. “The multiple plot lines… are interwoven magnificently in this atmospheric tale, rich in historical detail, the fourth in the Kinship series.”
