Product Description

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 LetterAbout the Author:Agatha Award-winning author Edith Maxwell writes the Amesbury-based Quaker Midwife historical mysteries, the Lauren Rousseau Mysteries, the Local Foods Mysteries, and short crime fiction.

This appears to be the end of the Quaker Midwife Mysteries. But then again, who knows what the future holds for Rose Carroll Dodge, for you, me or the author.Rose is now happily married and expecting her first child with husband, David. Amesbury is hosting it's annual Spring Opening when the renowned carriage makers from the town open their doors to visitors from all over the world for the week long celebration. A pall is cast over the celebration when the body of a visiting Carriage manufacturing company's representative from Canada is found after being shot to death from behind. The pressure to solve this murder is palpable since many of the possible suspects will be returning to their homes with a week, not only to other parts of the country, but to other countries as well. If that happens it could very well mean that this murder will go unsolved and the murderer will go unpunished.Rose's uncanny ability to put the pieces together during an investigation thus assisting the police in solving even the most complex of crimes once again comes into play. This time however, she has not only her own safety to consider but that of her unborn child as well.Secrets emerge and many questions arise as Acting Police Chief Kevin and Rose try and solve this crime before the chance to do so slips through their fingers forever.Once again Ms. Maxwell weaves a story that is complex and set in a time bereft of modern tools we have at our disposal nowadays for solving murders. No DNA, no surveillance cameras. She writes about a very well researched time period with authenticity. I find myself learning something in every book she has written both about the time period and about the Amish faith. I have enjoyed every minute of it. If indeed Rose hangs up her sleuthing hat for good I will miss her very much. I can only hope that maybe somewhere down the line Edith Maxwell misses her enough to dust off the Quaker Midwife's persona and take us back again to turn of the century Amesbury and the most interesting life of Mrs. Rose Carroll Dodge.
