"Kimberly Tilley has outdone herself once more with top-notch narrative story-telling. This is a dark and compelling Victorian-era mystery filled with a bevy of entertaining suspects worthy of any Agatha Christie novel. Except, of course, it all really happened!"

"Buffalonians are going to love digging into the Elmwood Village's first major scandal, a murder that attracted headlines around the world."
