What a saga!! I was seated, hands inside the car for this roller coaster ride of a book from beginning to end. This book was so rich in its storytelling from the characters to the mystery to the history of living in colonial Maine. I was viscerally angry at the villains while always rooting for the wonderful Martha. If you love Claire Fraser in her colonial doctor era but want a murder mystery too, you need to pick up this book and maybe get a copy for your mom too.
