In this first in the Diana Spaulding 1888 Mysteries, the action moves from New York City's theatrical district into the middle of the infamous mid-March Blizzard of 88 and finally to Bangor, Maine, a city that was then as much a frontier town as any in the wild west. Intrepid journalist Diana Spaulding is on the trail of a reclusive writer of horror stories and trying to find a murderer before he finds her. Are they the same person? And who is Damon Bathory, anyway?
Mrs. Emerson's sense of place and the complexity of her characters made this novel stand out in the crowded bookshelves. Midwest Book Review
