A suspenseful mystery based on a real crime! Set in the late 1880's, in the town of Somerville, near Boston, Massachusetts, a sinister plot emerges around suspicious deaths, drawing the attention of a local doctor.

"None of us know what life is going to bring from day to day. We just live and walk in Gods grace through it all."

The tension builds as the danger grows, and the good doctor struggles to pinpoint the cause of the deadly illness. I could hardly wait for him to figure it out, as the situation worsened. Harriet seemed loyal to a fault, but sacrificial to keep her promise to look after her dying friend's young family members. I wanted her to take the kids and run! Dr. Wheaton made a good, strong hero with his own personal struggles to overcome. I was pulling for him from the start. There were some tender inspirational moments as they discussed their faith and heaven.

Historical mystery fans may enjoy this tale, with a bit of faith and romance.
