Helpful Score: 4

First book in a series taking place in 17th century New England. Catherine Williams is a 50-ish widow, a midwife, wealthy and respected who with the aid of a Pequot Indian she saves from execution investigates the death of an infant. The lead character is a strong woman, uncharacteristic for the Colonial times and the book appears historically correct in setting and tone.
