I never thought that I would have the slightest interest in a book abut a Quaker Midwife-and yet here we are 5 books in and I am totally enamored of this series! The mysteries in Maxwell's books are always well plotted, intricate and fun to sleuth along with; but the real star of this series is the birthing scenes (as far as I'm concerned). Giving birth is not an easy prospect in 2020 with all the various medical advances and medications, giving birth BEFORE all of those advances and medications is downright harrowing, and the fact that women have been doing it since the dawn of time is awe inspiring. All the more so because each birthing scene in this book (and all the others) is handled matter of factly yet reverentially. Rose is as adept as solving crimes as she is at facilitating the mysteries of birth.
