Quaker Midwife mystery #2

Called to Justice
by Edith Maxwell

My second Quaker midwife mystery and I'm still not sure if I like it. No, no--of course I like it. What's not to like about a lady dressed in a dull grey dress and bonnet who occasionally dons her bloomers, leaps on a horse and gallops across country to visit the seashore?  Everything about this book is engaging and she even introduces a subplot of a unfriendly mother-in-law to be, although that one was a little contrived and had a "too quick" resolution. But I'm sure the mean mother will come back next issue.

So I'll continue. Plus, this one had a better mystery than the last.
