Louisa May Alcott moves to Concord after the success of her book Little Women, wanting a slower life raising pigs. But when Miss Emily Collier is found dead after her birthday party, Louisa is engrossed in the investigation. Partnering with Captain Briers she must find out which of the Misses of Concord is the murderer. Louisa soon finds out that not only Misses will lie, cheat and steal to evade the truth.

I was really excited to read this book based on the premise of Louis May Alcott being a sleuth. I really enjoyed how Dunne portrayed how a small town filled with rumors and lies can spread like a disease. I truly wish we got more character development and the struggles that they might have gone through to entice their decisions. The accuracy of gossip between grown women in a small town is spot on, however I felt it was most of the book's context.
