Under the Dragon's Tail | Maureen Jennings
3 posts | 13 read | 1 to read
Women rich and poor come to her, desperate and in dire need of help and discretion. Dolly Merishaw is a midwife and an abortionist in Victorian Toronto, but although she keeps quiet about her clients condition, her contempt for them and her greed leaves every one of them resentful and angry. So it comes as no surprise to Detective William Murdoch when this malicious woman is murdered. What is a shock, though, is that a week later a young boy is found dead in Dollys squalid kitchen. Now, Murdoch isnt sure if hes hunting one murderer or two.

I always love a cozy mystery! I am right on track for my challenge, so far. I've picked my next keyword read. I will start it soon! I'm feeling pretty proud of myself. 🤗

Tagged book is set over 100 years ago in Toronto. It‘s history, “part British colony, part New World”, society, customs, & it‘s examination of women roles & restrictions are highlighted in this wonderful whodunit.Detective Murdock is a full dimensional character who cracks the case while grieving for his dead fiancé,taking dancing lessons & training for a bike race. Both mysteries provided a much needed escape!
