Notes

Description
Quaker midwife Rose Carroll seeks the true cause of a young mother's death in turn-of-the-century Massachusetts. The winter of 1889 is harsh in Amesbury, Massachusetts, but it doesn't stop Quaker midwife Rose Carroll from making the rounds to her pregnant and postpartum mothers. When Charity Skells dies from an apparent early miscarriage, Rose wonders about the symptoms that don't match the stated cause of death. She learns that Charity's husband may be up to no good with a young woman whose mother appears to offer prohibited medical procedures. A disgraced physician in town does the same, while Charity's cousin seems to have a nefarious agenda of his own. With several suspects emerging, each with their own possible motives, Rose and police detective Kevin Donovan race against time to solve the case before another innocent life is lost. Praise for the Quaker Midwife Mysteries: Turning the Tide is a 2018 Agatha Award Nominee for Best Historical Novel "Engaging."Publishers Weekly.

A terrific historical read."Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author.

"Maxwell introduces a fascinating new heroine with her Quaker midwife Rose Carroll."Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of Murder on St. Nicolas Ave. "[Rose's] strong personality combined with the author's distinctive voice and vivid writing style transported me instantly to another time and place."Kathy Lynn Emerson, Malice Domestic 2014 Guest of Honor and author of How to Write Killer Historical Mysteries, Murder in the Queen's Wardrobe, and the Diana Spaulding 1888 Mysteries. "A riveting historical mystery featuring a refreshingly different kind of heroine, a Quaker midwife who also solves crimes with wit, intelligence, and gentle grace. It's a page turner.
