The Third Wife of Faraday House by B.R. MyersMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The latest historical mystery from B.R. Myers goes into gothic realms on the shores of Nova Scotia, with a protagonist who winds up (unhappily, of course) stuck having to marry a wealthy captain with a grand old manse on the coast outside of Halifax. He's been a serial monogamist, and Emeline is to be the titular third wife...except the second wife hasn't quite shuffled off this mortal coil yet, and that's just the tip of the mysterious gothic iceberg in this land of fog and strange mushrooms and an attractive French reverend. Myers gives this genre some serious new life with some of the best mystery twists I've seen yet.
