Goodreads description:
Boston governess Nell Sweeney and her employer’s morphine-addicted son, Dr. Will Hewitt, investigate a young woman’s disappearance in Book #2 of P.B. Ryan’s acclaimed historical mystery series, Murder in a Mill Town.
Former pickpocket Nell Sweeney reinvented herself and found a position as governess to wealthy Viola Hewitt’s daughter Grace. When Viola needs help locating two missing people, she turns to Nell. Working with Viola’s son Will, an opium addict who knows his way around the back alleys and gambling dens, Nell finds the two murdered, and all evidence points to Will’s brother Harry as the killer. While attempting to clear Harry’s name, Nell and Will walk straight into the villain’s lair. Ryan creates characters you care about and a plot that holds your interest as you try to unmask the killer. Lively and intriguing, this is a fast-paced, wonderful read. -Romantic Times Book Reviews
Why I want to read this book: This one has been on my tbr pile for a long time. I loved the first book in the series, Still Life with Murder, but just haven’t gotten around to reading this one. Will and Nell are intriguing characters and I’m interested to see how the relationship evolves.
