Synopsis:
A new book in the Agatha Award-winning series by Edith Maxwell!
Quaker midwife Rose
Carroll must turn her investigative skills on her own family when a young
woman’s murder stuns a New England community . . .
Following a long betrothal,
midwife Rose Carroll and her beloved David are finally celebrating their
marriage with friends and relatives, when a most disturbing telegram interrupts
the festivities: the young ward of Rose’s aunt has suffered a mysterious death,
and Rose’s help is needed urgently on Cape Cod. Reluctantly agreeing to mix her
honeymoon plans with murder, Rose embarks on an investigation that will expose
family secrets and a community’s bigotry.
As Rose does her best to comfort
her aunt in her loss and also learn as much as possible about the poor young
victim’s death, she discovers that each new clue points to a confounding list
of suspects: a close friend of the victim who may have harbored secret
resentments, an estranged brother of David’s with an unsavory reputation, and
the son of a Native American midwife who supposedly led the young woman astray.
And as Rose grows closer to identifying the perpetrator, the solution will
rattle her assumptions about her own family and faith . . .
