What Comes After by JoAnne Tompkins
5.0
What a fantastic ride! Even though this book starts with a brutal murder, there is very little violence in this story. The mystery is not about who is the guilty party, but how the events came to pass, and how the people left behind must put the pieces back together. The story of Jonah and Daniel's friendship, Evangeline's unexpected appearance, and the complicated relationship of Lorrie and Isaac were well-developed and full of emotion.
I was also fascinated to get an inside look at a Quaker church, the way in which silence is used as a key tool to convening with the Divine. The plot is propulsive, with secrets being revealed slowly but deliberately. This was a great read from start to finish.
