Search - Blackwater Spirits (Glynis Tryon, Bk 3)

This was another very related-to-history, enjoyable mystery from Miriam Monfredo. This one dealt with racial prejudice against Indians in western New York in the 1850s. A number of historical figures were incorporated into the plot.

This mystery had very few prominent characters, aside from the good guys, who could have been the murderer. So, I figured that it had to be the one person who was obviously of bad character. Boy, did I blow it and finger the wrong person as the culprit.

The first books of this series seem to span a decade. I was surprised when Glynis said she was almost 40 as the first book had her in her late 20s. There are three more books in this series that apparently take place over the next four years, into 1861.
