Late seventeenth-century Colonial America was not well known for encouraging enterprising women, but there were exceptions. Hetty Henry, twice-widowed businesswoman from Boston, is everything a good historical sleuth should be. She’s quick-witted and clever, personable and loyal to her friends—and she has just a hint of larceny in her soul! M. E. Kemp’s DEATH OF A DUTCH UNCLE is a fast-paced visit to the New York colony in 1691, full of vivid details and peopled by fascinating characters designed to appeal to today’s readers while still remaining true to their historical milieu.

M. E. Kemp brings Dutch Albany to colorful life as spunky widow Hetty Henry and young Boston minister Increase (Creasy) Cotton once again team up to unravel a mystery and expose a killer. Kemp’s trademark twists and entertaining characters kept me turning pages half the night.
