Jonah Sellers, frustrated aspiring
novelist, is getting tired of being cooped up in his
apartment, but his broken leg makes leaving difficult. His
doctor sister has been looking after him, but when she
leaves for vacation she informs him she has arranged for one
of her nurses to take over for a while. Staring out the
window after she leaves, Jonah sees a handsome man in a suit
in the window of the apartment directly across from his. To
his surprise, the man starts stripping—only to disappear
when an old lady walks right through him! The bizarre event
intrigues Jonah, and when he shares it with Liam, his sexy
new nurse, they both become interested in solving the
mystery. As they dig deeper into the past, they discover
more than they ever imagined they would.
Windows in Time is an excellent mystery /
ghost story / romance. At first, the parallel storyline
structure of the present, with Jonah, and 1957, with a
reporter named Buck Addison, was a bit confusing, but once I
got used to the style I was enthralled. Abrasive,
frustrated Jonah was a great character. I would have liked
to learn more about Liam, his sweet but hesitant nurse, but
I learned enough to see the two were a great fit for each
other. The past storyline of Buck Addison, Oliver Caldwell,
and a fifty-year-old Hollywood mystery was lovely and
bittersweet. I couldn’t stop turning the pages to find out
what would happen next, and even though I had an idea of
what it would be it still packed an emotional punch when it
came. I recommend Windows in Time to anyone
who likes ghosts, mystery, romance, the Fifties, or just
likes emotional, suspenseful, and well-told tales. |
