Final book in the Gilded Age mystery series and it reads exactly like that -- a series wrap up. The mystery element was almost an after thought. This book was dedicated wholly to wrapping up loose ends on the personal and character front.Throughout the series, Nell, the main character has been gua...
Penultimate book in the series. Suffers from the same strengths and weaknesses as the previous book. The detection piece and the finding out whodunit in the mystery didn't have the satisfying complexity of the first two books. Again a lot of conversations with people who were extremely forthcomin...
Still very much enjoying this series. I didn't find the mystery of this one as engaging as the others until the very end. I was sure I figured out the whodunnit for once in this series. But no. I still didn't figure it out. And the solution was elegantly simple. I think I was a bit disappointe...
Although GR calls this the 3rd book in the series, it isn't it is really the 2nd.When Bridget 'Bridie' Sullivan goes missing, no one believes that anything untoward has happened to her. She is a bit of a good time girl and everyone thinks she just ran off with her ex-con boyfriend. Everyone, that ...

It's not like the British-accented Will or the Irish accented Detective Cook needed their speech phonetically rendered. Tak...
Quoted from my review @ http://misscz.wordpress.comComments: Nell has a lot on her plate. Her only surviving sibling, Jamie, is dead. He was a fugitive, wanted for the murder of Susannah Cunningham. Also occupying her mind is that fact that she’s pregnant with Will’s baby and Will is in France. In t...
Quoted from my review @ http://misscz.wordpress.comComments: Will is currently teaching medical jurisprudence at Harvard Medical School, with the condition that he be allowed to conduct postmortems on any of the interesting corpses in Massachusetts General’s morgue. By interesting, he means those in...
Quoted from my review @ http://misscz.wordpress.com The Hewitts have gone to the Cape for their annual summer retreat, but Nell has remained in Boston to clear Detective Cook’s name. The odious, and disgraced, ex-detective Charles Skinner is sure that Nell is conspiring to keep him hidden, and he ha...
