Edith Maxwell Synopsis: Delivering the Truth is the first Quaker Midwife Mystery by Edith Maxwell. For Quaker midwife Rose Carroll, life in Amesbury, Massachusetts during the late 1800s provides equal measures of joy and tribulation. She loves helping the mothers and newborns even as she mourns the recent death of her sister. Likewise, Rose enjoys the giddy feelings that come from being courted by a handsome doctor, but a suspicious fire and two murders leave her fearing for the well-being of her loved ones. Driven by her desire for safety and justice, Rose Carroll begins asking questions related to the crimes. Consulting with her friends and neighbors – including the famous Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier – Rose uses her abilities as a counselor and problem solver in trying to bring the perpetrators to light.

   I really love the country store mysteries. I am about to look for the next one I didn’t know was out. No greater crime.
