A Changing Light by Edith Maxwell
4.0
DESCRIPTION:
As the nineteenth century nears an end, midwife Rose Carroll can see signs of progress and change everywhere in her Amesbury community. Adding to the excitement is the annual Spring Opening, when the town's world-famous carriage manufacturers throw open their doors to visitors from all over the globe. This year's festivities are tainted, however, when a representative from a prominent Canadian carriage company is murdered.
Driven by her strong sense of justice, Rose is determined to track down the killer. She has only just begun her investigation when she learns that the plans for a radical new horseless carriage have gone missing. Faced with the question of whether the two crimes are connected—and a list of suspects that includes some of Amesbury's own residents and any number of foreign visitors—Rose has to delve into a case with implications for the future, even if the motive for murder is one of mankind's oldest . . .
The historical setting is beautiful , the townspeople are charming, and the plot is a wonderful mystery! This book gives the reader a fascinating look at nineteenth-century American faith, culture, and small-town life.
The characters are well developed and the mystery is absolutely enjoyable.
I believe that any reader whom enjoys historical fiction will love this one!!
BOOK QUOTE:
“Last night I dreamed I gave birth to a frog. And it seemed perfectly normal to do so. The night before our baby was a full-grown three-year-old, even though I knew I’d given birth the day before.”
