A will. A death. A way to go.
It’s 1880. Emma, now with a young son and no longer travelling with Daniel on the Mary B, is finding it difficult to settle into town life. Her outspoken views don’t always go down well with the members of the Ladies Benevolent Society, and no one wants her herbal remedies now there’s a handsome young doctor in town. With Janey to care for the house, and Abe as handyman and gardener, time is weighing heavily on her hands.
So when her dear friend Janet Pickles is arrested for murder, Emma is only too ready to spring into the fray, calling on all her instincts, knowledge, and good common sense to uncover the truth. Providing, of course, she can convince the doctor, and the local Constable, who naturally think they know better than any woman.
But Emma has managed a riverboat crew, so anything is possible. Isn’t it?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
