Nell Sweeney Historical Mysteries

review 1: It was definitely a treat to see Nell go back (in a way) to her Irish roots! The plot was well-constructed, though the pacing was a little slow, and the conclusion was satisfying. As with the previous books, what really shines is the interactions between Will and Nell, as they continue to dance around each other. I enjoyed this immensely, but if you're someone who gets frustrated with that sort of thing, take care! They also grow as individuals as well - the growth of Will, especially, over the course of the last few books as been a great to see, if not 100% believable. In this book, it's Nell's views of the world that get shaken a bit, and we see her mature and begin to rely on herself and her judgement more and more. The ending was especially gratifying and wonderful. A ... morelight, well-written read!
review 2: This mystery takes place in Boston in the late 1800's. Nell Sweeney is a governess for a wealthy family, the Hewitts. Dr. Will Hewitt and Nell are in love, but she was secretly married several years earlier to a man who is now in prison. A friend, Detective Colin Cook is accused of killing a man in the North End, and Nell and Will attempt to find the real story to save their friend. This isn't the most exciting mystery I've read lately; the writing is clear, but somewhat stilted; but the story line moves smoothly. less
