I received a complimentary copy of this book for my review. Who knew that Sicily in 1870 would have a charachter like Seraphina, a midwife, widow, mother of seven and famous sleuth? She is hired by an aristocratic nun who wants her to prove that her mother's death over one year ago was murder. This is a well crafted historical mystery that has done everything right. The characters are engaging and memorable, the plot well developed with interesting twists and turns, historical accuracies as needed and great descriptions of the countryside, wealthy estates, and troubling times.
