Charity's Burden by Edith Maxwell
3.0
3.5
A surprisingly enjoyable murder mystery set in 19th Century New England. A diverse cast and the mystery itself came together quite well.
What I loved about the book however was probably also it's biggest fault. I have trouble believing that a Quaker from the Late 1800's would be quite as feminist and forward thinking as the main protagonist was. I can dream and hope, but I just don't think it is realistic.
Otherwise though, and easy and enjoyable read.
