Beacon Street mourning Book

Another installment of a Fremont Jones mystery, bringing our beloved characters across the country to the other coast. And to the city close to my heart, Boston. Readers would benefit from a map of Beacon Street and the Back Bay at the turn of the century to have a better visualization of the plot.

It might have been easy to determine at the start of the book whom was responsible for one of the deaths, but the author adds some neat twists. Why is this on the Women's History Bookshelves tag? Through Fremont we see the emergence of women's independence, and the struggle to get it. Women cannot really buy a car without a male or have a longtime relationship with a man without being considered inappropriate.

I like how the author is able to keep these characters of interest to the reader by changing the setting.
