Description
A Farmhouse in the Rain is a novel of war and peace, crime and punishment, love and loss, and eventually hope. It's a saga of three American soldiers and the women they love - before, during, and after World War II.
During the war, the three are given shelter by a French woman. The next morning she is found dead and the trio realize they were the only ones in the house. While the three survive the war, the questions remain: Who will survive the peace? Who will unite with the love they left behind? And who will be unmasked as the murderer on that fateful night at A Farmhouse in the Rain.

Advance Praise
The US Review says "Kilgore has penned a well-written book with an almost Shakespearian feel to it. Filled with suspense, sacrifice, and subplots that interlock smoothly, the author's dark chronicle of lives bound together by fate is a solid addition to the World War II thriller genre"
Pacific Book Review calls A Farmhouse In The Rain "a well-mapped, well-managed mystery. Kilgore is as comfortable penning scenes of the grim realities of combat as of the tenderness of long awaited love. At every moment of this romance and action laden mystery, you know that capable hands are at the wheel."

"Rich characterization, with each of the principals made vivid and distinct, drives the story along." ~ Michelle Spring, Royal Literary Fellow at Magdalene College, Cambridge, Shortlisted for Writers' Village International Novel Award

Featured Reviews

Follow along the sides of 3 young soldiers, their sweethearts, and their families as they navigate the perils of WWII - both at home and abroad. Although each comes from a different background, Joe Kilgore masterfully entwines the three central characters – young soldiers just trying to survive while on foreign soil and win the war. Unlike many war-time historical fiction we also get a peek into what life is like back home for those our intrepid would-be heroes left behind. Family, friends, lovers, all join to make a moving masterpiece that readers will be unable to put down. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves historical fiction, mysteries, drama, and star-crossed lovers.
