cornmaven 's review for:
Picture the Dead
by Adele Griffin, Lisa Brown
I just loved this historical fiction novel set in Civil War times, with a touch of ghosts, Spiritualism, honor, betrayal, and the dawn of modern photography. Griffin acknowledges that a lot of what is portrayed is pretty factual. The societal mores of upper Bostonian life is on display as well.
There's a mystery involving Jennie's fiance and his brother, woven around a scrapbook she is keeping. All of the clues lead to the truth, which kind of turns her world upside down, and threatens her life.
Well done, I loved the artwork, and the fact that it is based on artifacts from the Library of Congress and elsewhere. Plus I love Civil War stuff.
