Deadly Shaker Spring
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4/5 from 3 reviews Great "History" MysteryWoodworth looks at a little known religious movement in American history and brings the people to life, as well as demythologizing the Shaker movement. This was a fascinating story, and I look forward to more of Sister Rose and tales from the Shaker community. If you are interested in Shakers...I got this book for Christmas and couldn't put it down! As a Shaker enthusiast, the culture was very real to me, the characters very believable, and very suspenseful. I can't wait to read the other books by this author. Mystery set in a Shaker village is educational and fun.This book, and "Death of a Winter Shaker", were great stay-up-too-late-reading mysteries. Sister Rose is a clever, human central character. I happen to sing in a Shaker Chorus in New Hampshire, and so found the information on these utopian egalitarian folks very fascinating, and yet woven into the story in a very unobtrusive way. | ||||||||||||||||||||
