Still Life With Murder (Nell Sweeney Mysteries) $0.00 by P.B. Ryan
“Boston, 1868: The dawn of the Gilded Age, an era of burgeoning commerce and invention, of unimaginable new fortunes and lavish excessāfor some. Born into dismal poverty, young Nell Sweeney scratches by on her wits and little else until fortune blesses her with a position as nursery governess to the fabulously wealthy Hewitts. But she soon learns that ugly secrets lurk beneath the surface of their gold-plated world.
The Hewittsā eldest son, William, a former Union Army battle surgeon and the black sheep of the family, was reported to have died three years before in a notorious Confederate prison camp. But one snowy February afternoon, his parents learn that he is, in fact, still aliveāand in jail for having murdered a man while intoxicated on opium. Infuriated by his sonās deception and convinced of his guilt, August Hewitt forbids his wife from coming to Willās aid, so she begs Nell to help exonerate him. Nell finds that she must delve into the kind of dark and treacherous underworld she thought sheād left far behind if she is to unearth the truth before the hangmanās noose tightens around William Hewittās throat.”
