One of the most interesting parts of this series is the time period. I enjoy the descriptions of the city of Boston and its surrounding locale. Having been born and raised in the area it's fascinating to me to read of what it was like back then. I think P.B.Ryan handles it very well. I liked the first book in this series more, but that might be because it was fresh and new to me. What a delight it was! However this one, the 2nd, is very close to being as good in my opinion. Ryan continues giving us details of the blooming romance between Nell and Will, however flawed it may be. But she introduces new characters who are also very interesting. The murders are gruesome, the search for knowledge of the killer is exciting, and the ending, with full disclosure of the reasons behind the murders, is satisfying. Although I guessed who the killer was a while before the revelation, I didn't feel cheated. There was still much to learn about this person. All in all, I truly enjoyed the book, and am looking forward to reading the third, hoping that it will be as good a read as the first two.
