I somehow picked another slow paced, descriptive book! A historical mystery based on the real-life diaries of 18th-century Maine midwife Martha Ballard, who investigates a murder linked to an alleged rape, uncovering secrets in her community. Set in the late 1700's it is sometimes hard for me to believe that a woman in that time could speak to authorities/men the way it is written. It's rated highly, I'll keep on!
