The Black Widow’s Prey by N. S. Wikarski | Review

The Black Widow’s Prey by N. S. Wikarski might be Book Three of the Gilded Age Chicago Mystery series, but it can certainly be read as a stand-alone story. I have not yet read the first two books in the series, but I enjoyed this one immensely.

Consulting detectives Evangeline LeClair and Freddie Simpson face their most challenging case yet when a priceless Egyptian artifact is stolen from a Chicago museum.

Nellie’s Heartbreak by Rosie Clarke
Nellie’s Heartbreak is a wonderfully written pre-WW2 saga depicting the changing of class separation and life struggles.

Poor Nellie, ill-treated by her mother for her entire life, is sent into service on her 15th birthday. Once she settles into her new life, she begins to find a measure of peace. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last.
