by Edith Maxwell (Author)
In a new mystery from Agatha Award-winning author Edith Maxwell, midwife Rose Carroll confronts a killer on the cusp of a new age . . .
As the nineteenth century nears an end, midwife Rose Carroll can see signs of progress and change everywhere in her Amesbury community. Adding to the excitement is the annual Spring Opening, when the town's world-famous carriage manufacturers throw open their doors to visitors from all over the globe. This year's festivities are tainted, however, when a representative from a prominent Canadian carriage company is murdered. Driven by her strong sense of justice, Rose is determined to track down the killer. She has only just begun her investigation when she learns that the plans for a radical new horseless carriage have gone missing. Faced with the question of whether the two crimes are connected-and a list of suspects that includes some of Amesbury's own residents and any number of foreign visitors-Rose has to delve into a case with implications for the future, even if the motive for murder is one of mankind's oldest . . . Praise for the Quaker Midwife Mysteries: "Through Quaker Rose Carroll's resourceful sleuthing-and her midwifery-we are immediately immersed in the fascinating peculiarities, tensions and secrets of small-town life in late-19th-century Amesbury." -Susanna Calkins, author of the award-winning Lucy Campion Mysteries and the Speakeasy Mysteries "Edith Maxwell's latest Quaker midwife mystery teems with authentic period detail that fascinates as it transports the reader back to a not-so-simple time. A complex, subtle, and finely told tale, Judge Thee Not's sensitive portraits and vivid descriptions, along with Rose Carroll's humanity, intelligence, and-yes-snooping, make this a sparkling addition to a wonderful series. A sublimely delightful read." -James W. Ziskin, author of the award-winning Ellie Stone Mysteries "The historical setting is redolent and delicious, the townspeople engaging, and the plot a proper puzzle, but it's Rose Carroll-midwife, Quaker, sleuth-who captivates in this irresistible series . . ." -Catriona McPherson, Agatha-, Anthony- and Macavity-winning author of the Dandy Gilver series "Not only is it a well-plotted, intelligent mystery, it also shines light on how women were treated-and, in many cases, mistreated-by people they trusted for help in desperate situations. Highly recommended." -Suspense Magazine "Clever and stimulating novel . . . masterfully weaves a complex mystery." -Open Book Society "Riveting historical mystery . . . [a] fascinating look at nineteenth-century American faith, culture, and small-town life." -William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Cape Cod and The Lincoln Letter
