Description
Five years ago Caroline Fremont Jones fled the proper world of her native Boston for the independent life of a California private detective. But now, in the winter of 1909, she is grief-stricken to learn of her father's grave illness. Still hampered by half-healed injuries from her last adventure -- but buoyed by her ever-deepening affection for her partner in love and work, Michael Kossoff -- Fremont leaves sunny San Francisco for the ice-edged air and handsome mansions of Beacon Street. show more Her visit has scarcely begun when her father, suffering from a malady not even his doctor can diagnose, takes a turn for the better ... only to die suddenly in the middle of the night. Fremont is certain her odious stepmother, Augusta, somehow caused her father's death. But how? And did she have an accomplice? Michael questions Fremont's suspicions ... until an exotic piece of evidence and a second, violent death trigger an investigation that draws upon childhood memories and fears to become Fremont's most personal one yet. show lessTags

A solid conclusion to this amazing series.
just FYI: Harry Elkins Widener died with the Titanic, it would have been difficult to find the library named after him in 1907.
