Goldstein "I so enjoyed spending time with Edith Maxwell's beloved sleuth, Rose Carroll, in these astute and thought-provoking stories!" Alyssa Maxwell, author of The Gilded Newport Mysteries Edith Maxwell's Rose Carroll is more than a Quaker midwife in late 19th century New England. She's a moral compass, an astute observer, and a staunch advocate for women in a time when women's rights were more trampled than honored-and a fine detective who uses her ability to go where the police can't to work tirelessly for justice. The compact, compelling stories in A Questionable Death and Other Stories will satisfy the mystery lover and the history lover alike. -Leslie Budewitz, three-time Agatha Award-winning author of the Spice Shop Mysteries and the "Stagecoach Mary" Fields short stories
