Except the Dying

by Jennings Maureen

Thomas Dunne Book | January 10, 1997 | Hardcover

In the middle of the bitterly cold winter of 1895 in Toronto, the naked body of a young servant girl has recently been discovered in a deserted laneway.Detective William Murdoch must determine the reason why she died under such miserable circumstances.

To catch his criminal, Murdoch crosses the class lines of a society that still clings to a British hierarchical system, and behind the chenille curtains of the wealthy, he uncovers personalities capable of committing ugly crimes.

Fans of Anne Perry won't want to miss this one! It is set in Toronto in the late 1800s, and Canadian readers will identify with many of the street names and places that are mentioned. The plot involves a servant girl who is murdered and left in a snowbank. As with any historical mystery, it is interesting to see how the detective is able to solve the mystery without the help of modern science or forensics. This is Jennings' first novel, and I hope she will remain in the growing ranks of mystery authors and write more books.
