Description
When a servant girl is found drowned in a bath, the death appears to be a tragic accident—but Edgar Allan Poe sees signs of murder. Traveling to Massachusetts with his companion “Sissy,” Poe joins forces with Louisa May Alcott to uncover the truth behind the crime and confront a killer hiding amid the region’s respectable façades. Blending historical figures, atmospheric suspense, and literary wit, the novel explores Victorian social conventions, deception, and the darker impulses concealed beneath everyday life. It is a richly evocative addition to the Edgar Allan Poe mystery series, written with a keen eye for period detail and macabre intrigue.
