Review: Great Historical Murder Mystery
Rating: 5 out of 5

Jo Robertson has written another page turner! Once again, she's set her suspenseful tale at the beginning of the 20th century with lots of interesting historical details. Forensic science was in its infancy then and I found the characters' struggles to interpret the clues to the grisly murder realistic and intriguing. I thought the characters of Tucker Gage, a man tortured by his past, and Megan Bailey, the practical and headstrong schoolteacher, were well-drawn and believable. Their attempt to unravel the murder of pretty Nell Carver makes for a fascinating read.
