Description of the Book: Must Maiden Die (Seneca Falls Historical Mysteries)
For Advertisment
The brilliant new novel in the prestigious mystery series that combines fascinating American history, the early women's rights movement...and murder.
Basing her Seneca Falls mystery series on actual historical events, Miriam Grace Monfredo has received critical acclaim for her vivid depiction of nineteenth-century America, when women, abolitionists, and other social reformers fought to reshape the nation...
In the spring of 1861, only whispers of the Civil War are heard in New York state, until Seneca Falls's librarian Glynis Tryon tries to save an indentured servant girl from a murder charge--and gets tangled in a tapestry of lust, high treason, and legal treachery that brings the stark reality of the growing Civil War close to home...

* Sixth in the highly acclaimed and successful series
