The Quaker Midwife Mystery series spans seven books from 2016 to 2021, following midwife Rose Carroll in 1880s Amesbury, Massachusetts. Rose’s dual roles as a midwife and a Quaker give her access to the private lives of her community, which proves useful when death arrives in unexpected forms.
Delivering the Truth (2016) opens the series, and subsequent entries like Called to Justice (2017) and Judge Thee Not (2019) expand Rose’s world. The historical setting provides both constraints and opportunities for mystery-solving, as Rose must navigate without modern forensics or the authority that a male investigator might take for granted.
