I was lucky enough to win this book from the author for finding a minor mistake on her website calendar! And when I say "lucky," I mean lucky! Author Maxwell is very versatile, writing historical mysteries, 2 food-based series (one under the name Maddie Day), and the Tace Baker mysteries (under the pseudonym Lauren Rousseau). She also has a new series under contract called the Cozy Capers Book Group Mysteries, which I hope was inspired just a bit by our library's Christie Capers mystery book group!
The Quaker Midwife series, set in the late 1880's, feature midwife Rose Carroll, a woman of great intelligence and common sense who consults frequently with New England Poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Maxwell brings to life the devastation of the 1888 Amesbury, MA carriage factory fires and expertly weaves her historical research into a very satisfying historical mystery. Her characters are believable and appealing. I can't wait to read the next in this series!
