Having read some of the reviews of this book I was prepared for a very lackluster story. Actually I found this last one to be quite good.

I started reading Fremont Jones books years ago when I discovered them as a 'local author' in California. I have enjoyed each one and looked forward to finding the next. I'm sorry to know that this was the last of this series since there seems to be so much left hanging. Perhaps someday she will take Fremont up again.

A cute story with decent intrigue, and a particularly fun read for anyone with a knowledge of Boston. It takes place in Boston in the early 1900s and the author did a great job of using real streets and places and making it seem very authentic.

Pretty lame but I've read almost all Day's other Fremont Jones mysteries and this one does take place in Boston, across from the park I lived in a child, on the street where both sets of my mother's parents grew up and only a few blocks from where I grew up... So I had to read it. The characters are not very deep, but the series is mildly entertaining and the books are very quick and easy to read. And sometimes that is exactly what I need.

Somber, scary, frustrating (in a good way), much more real than the rest of the series.

Final book in this series and sorry to see it end. This was a wonderful finale with many twists and turns along the way.

Sixth in the Fremont Jones mystery series. Fremont and her partner travel to Boston because her father is seriously ill. Fremont suspects his second wife of poisoning him. Another good read.

This book wasn't horrible and was much better than the last one but not as good as the first three. It was just OK.
