Negative Positive
Title: 1891 Beacon Hill Brahmin Mystery
Review: I love reading books set in places I know well, especially when the author makes those places so much part of the story. There were also lots of great characters, a feminist perspective, and a depressing view of how vital social respectability was to the upperclass women of that era, and how vulnerable that made them to blackmail and gossip. There were moments of excitement as the hard-to-care-about murder was solved. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Victorian mysteries. There is certainly potential for the series to develop into a five-star one if the actual murder plot can be more involving.
