Another Quaker midwife tale

 Taken Too Soon

by Edith Maxwell

See my review of Judge Thee Not. This one had a better plot, I think, and an interesting historical narrative mixed in with the murder. The actual murder and the uncovering of the culprit was anticlimactic--much more interesting was now Midwife Rose figured out the family history behind the young girl who was "taken too soon." 


And as usual, the birthing of babies was the best part of this whole book. I do wish she'd give up on the mysteries and just write straight midwifery stuff.
