After Aggie Dunkirk's career is unceremoniously ended by her own mistakes, she finds herself traveling to Wisconsin, where her grandmother, Mumsie, lives alone in her rambling old home. She didn't plan for how eccentric Mumsie has become, obsessing over an old, unsolved crime scene - even going so far as to re-create it in the dollhouse.
Mystery seems to follow her when she finds work as a secretary helping to restore the flooded historical part of the cemetery. Forced to work with the cemetery's puzzling, yet attractive archeologist, she exhumes the past's secrets and unwittingly uncovers a crime that some will go to any length to keep quiet - even if it means silencing Aggie.
In 1946, Imogene Flannigan works in a local factory and has eyes on owning her own beauty salon. But coming home to discover her younger sister's body in the attic changes everything. Unfamiliar with the newly burgeoning world of criminal forensics and not particularly welcomed as a woman, Imogene is nonetheless determined to stay involved. As her sister's case grows cold, Imogene vows to find justice . . . even if it costs her everything.

The poor narration

The story was long and arduous. This was complicated by the really bad grandmother nickname "mumsie." That was like chalk on a blackboard. There was also the jumping back and forth in time. I get it, two women, a crime and 70 years, but eventually find a time and stick with it. Add to that a Brit who calls a woman he has never met "love" for two thirds of the story. The heroine, an empowered millennial, by her own admission, takes no issue with this until two thirds of the way through the book. Then she proceeds to refer to three old ladies helping her by sitting in the hospital with "mumsie" as "the three stooges." She then can galavant around cemetries with the Brit, while being put out if the old gals call with an update. A little self centered?
Yikes. It just keeps going. The other thing that never stopped were all the eyes "twinkling." Couldn't someone just look without glaring or twinkling? The straw that broke the camel's back was when some fragile, barely able to stand or walk geezer not only knocks her down in the parking lot but manages to keep her penned with his cane while barely keeping his balance. I listened to the book and it was laborious listening filled with extraneous character angst and musings. This would be an engaging book if the author lost the trite, especially the awful nicknames and attempts at the 1940's slang, and focused on saying more with a lot less. She could be a very good story teller but she needs to heavily thin the verbage so you will actually care about the characters and stories and not just making it to the end. The actual mystery might have been interesting but by the end I just wanted to finish. Not my fav.
It's Over
