Still Life with Murder
P.B. Ryan

Welcome to 19TH CENTURY BOSTON where even power and privilege won't save you from the hangman's noose.

First in the new historical series featuring Boston governess Nell Sweeney

Boston 1868: The wealthy are enjoying the height of the Gilded Age-but not all are wealthy. As governess to the Hewitt family, Irish immigrant Nell Sweeny is sent to discover the truth behind the rumor that their son-thought to be killed in the Civil War-was still alive and in prison. Finding the young man convicted of a murder he did not commit, Nell won't rest until she has proven his innocence. But with no evidence, Nell must make haste-before the hangman's noose tightens around William Hewitt's throat.
