One of the other books I read in June, "To Hell With Love", was set in modern day Boston. I "traveled" 138 years in the same city. I think the heroine's office was in the North End.

Looks like you're getting way more reading done than I am this year! Anyway, the line above about the "seedy and dangerous slums of the North End" really grabbed my attention as well because I live across town from there and it's now one of the coolest places in Boston to have an overpriced coffee. Too funny! Take care. Dear “Marchioness” Christina,

Especially when Nell "descends into the seedy and dangerous slums of the North End to look into the matter." This is the time when the Irish population was peaking. The North End population was 24,000 of which 14,000 where Irish. Do they name streets, buildings or events from this era?? This book sounds very interesting.
