Description
About the Book
In 1921, heiress Marian Arnold begins having nightmarish visions in her family's butterfly house, but when she finds a body, she must separate her imaginings from reality. A century later, Remy Shaw embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind Marian's mysterious life and the unsolved murders linked to an infamous serial killer.From the Back Cover
An ominous butterfly house. A sinister legacy. An untraceable killer.In 1921, Marian Arnold, the heiress to a brewing baron's empire, seeks solace in the glass butterfly house on her family's Wisconsin estate as Prohibition and the deaths of her parents cast a long shadow over her shrinking world. When Marian's sanctuary is invaded by nightmarish visions, she grapples with the line between hallucinations of things to come and malevolent forces at play in the present. With dead butterflies as the killer's ominous signature, murders unfold at a steady pace. Marian, fearful she might be next, enlists the help of her childhood friend Felix, a war veteran with his own haunted past.
In the present day, researcher Remy Shaw becomes entangled in an elderly biographer's quest to uncover the truth behind Marian Arnold's mysterious life and the unsolved murders linked to an infamous serial killer. Joined by Marian's great-great-grandson, can Remy expose the evil that lurks beneath broken wings? Or will the dark legacy surrounding the manor and its glass house destroy yet another generation?

I have been a Jaime Jo Wright fan since The House on Foster Hill was released in 2017. I have read each of her books released since then, each eerie in its own way. Specters in the Glass House has a mood reminiscent of The House on Foster Hill and The Curse of Misty Wayfair, two of my favorites. This latest book has dual-timelines. Marian Arnold came to live in the MΓΌllerian Manor near Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1921 after her father's death and bankruptcy, the home in which her mother had died. Remy Crenshaw came to live in the manor in present time having taken a job as research assistant for a famous biographer who wants to write Marian's story. Specters and disembodied voices also populate the manor, a manor where long-ago murders are yet unsolved, and new murders seem likely to occur. I don't want to spoil the story by revealing the deeper themes, but I assure you that this is no simple ghost story, but rather a tale with weighty matters to ponder. As with each of her books, the reader comes away with a fresh insight or an affirmation of a facet of God's character. Specters in the Glass House will hold readers captive from the first page to the last. They will find themselves, as I did, repeatedly adjusting their predictions of who the culprit or culprits might be. I am very grateful to have received a complimentary copy of this wonderful book from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
Page-Turning Mystery!

βπΊππππππππ ππ πππ ππππ ππππππππ ππππ πππ ππππππππππππ.β Thereβs only one way to read a Jaime Jo Wright book β BINGE IT! So glad I could read this one at night, too. Sometimes I canβt do creepy mystery before bed, but I was able to keep flipping pages. I just had to know how all the things were going to come together. So many secrets. So many twists and turns. In this dual timeline, Wisconsinβs mysterious MΓΌllerian Manor is where we find our characters. In 1921 after experiencing much loss, Marian Arnold finds comfort in the glass butterfly house on her familyβs estate. That is until she starts seeing and hearing things. When she discovers a dead body and a pile of dried up butterfly wings, she fears a killer may be targeting her as well. Is there anyone living at the manor she can trust? In the present, an elderly biographer hires former foster kid, Remy Shaw, to help him research what happened to Marian Arnold and the unsolved murders linked to the βButterfly Butcher.β Strange things take place when Marianβs great-great grandson shows up at the manor. Is he there to help or hinder? Amidst a whirlwind plot, Wright hones in on the topic of mental health issues and subtly weaves in faith, forgiveness, and romance. I was way off on some of my guesses! Surprised but satisfied with how it all turned out. Loved it! I received a complimentary paperback from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Jaime Jo Wright is an auto-read author. She is one of the few authors I have read everything she has written. Specters in the Glass House is her newest release (10/1/24). I am in awe of her storytelling skills! It would be difficult for me to pick which timeline I enjoyed more. Marian Arnold's story is told in 1921, and Remy's story is present day. I felt like I was in the story, experiencing things as Marian and Remy experienced them. Wright's books are perfect for any time, but especially the fall season if you like spooky, haunted mansions, ghosts, generational curses, secrets, and mayhem, all while pointing the reader toward the light. While I figured out a few small details, I could not figure out everything and was surprised by several events. Wright is a masterful storyteller; it is amazing the way her storylines converge and make logical sense! When I read her books I can't figure out how they will come together, but they always do. In this story, I would have liked a few more details about Marian's story, even though everything is resolved. I finished the story yesterday and I am still mulling over the events today. Thank you to Bethany House and the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
