14-year-old Patience Martin is the daughter of a sea captain and an escaped slave. Living in 1721 Boston, Patience faces four dreary years as an indentured servant to Abedela Worth.

When Mrs. Worth dies, however, Patience takes her chances and makes the mistake of running away.

Soon it is discovered that Mrs. Worth was poisoned, and Patience is suspected of stealing a lot of cash from her. Can she clear her name and solve the mystery behind Mrs. Worth's death?

THE SECRET OF THE SEALED ROOM is an intriguing mystery. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is complex and seemingly historically accurate. Those who like mystery, adventure, and historical fiction will all enjoy reading this book.
