Book #2 of P.B. Ryan’s acclaimed historical mystery series (Book #1 is Still Life With Murder). Murder in a Mill Town was a finalist for the Mary Higgins Clark Award. Boston governess Nell Sweeney and her employer’s morphine-addicted son, Dr. Will Hewitt, investigate a young woman’s disappearance. Originally published by Berkley Prime Crime.
Former pickpocket Nell Sweeney reinvented herself and found a position as governess to wealthy Viola Hewitt’s daughter Grace. When Viola needs help locating two missing people, she turns to Nell. Working with Viola’s son Will, an opium addict who knows his way around the back alleys and gambling dens, Nell finds the two murdered, and all evidence points to Will’s brother Harry as the killer. While attempting to clear Harry’s name, Nell and Will walk straight into the villain’s lair.

“Nell is one of the strongest, most honorable, and dearest heroines to grace the pages of an amateur sleuth novel....P.B. Ryan knows how to write a tale that will grip and keep readers’ interest throughout the novel.” Midwest Book Reviews
