Why read it?
1 author picked Death of an Heiress as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The author has recreated 1850s old Los Angeles when it was just a pueblo, and because her husband is currently LA’s archivist, the historical details are accurate.
Her fabulous protagonist Maddie Wilcox has training as a doctor, and when she’s not working in her vineyard, supervising the winemaking, or running her hacienda, she helps heal everyone in town while figuring out who the murderer is.
I love the snappy dialogue and seamless storytelling.
From G.P.'s list on fabulous historical mysteries set in American cities.
