Will Rees mysteries

review 1: I love historical mysteries and was excited to read one set in a Shaker community in the 1790s, and this one won an award for a first time mystery writer. Therein lies my disappointment. It was nowhere near the caliber of writing Charles Todd, Stephanie Barron, and other authors of the same genre. The main character never won me over and there were too many familial relationships to keep track of.
review 2: A cozy mystery, set in a Shaker community in Maine in 1795. Sister Chastity is found dead one morning just as Will Rees, a Revolutionary War hero, now an itinerant weaver, returns home to see his 14 year old son David. But David has fled Rees' farm and joined the Shakers. David volunteers his father to the leading Elder because he knows that Rees has seve... moreral times successfully investigated other crimes. More bodies turn up, Rees falls for a lovely apiarian nearby and the plot thickens. It was an enjoyable read but the plot was a bit contrived. less
