Death at Chinatown by Frances McNamara

Do you like a good mystery? I do!

Death at Chinatown is part of a unique detective series set in the past. This is the 5th Emily Cabot mystery. I hadn’t read the others and was able to jump right into the story and would now love to read more of Frances McNamara‘s books.

The novel is fiction, but is historically based. Some of the characters were real people and the setting and themes put this novel in the realm of ‘could have actually happened this way.’The story is set in 1896 and has a female detective and females as lead characters in the mystery. While we are being entertained, we’ll see how race, gender, immigration and culture impacted US society in the 19th Century. Many of these issues are relevant today. It’s interesting to see how far we have come and how much we remain the same.

Death at Chinatown is a fun read for those of us who like mystery and historical fiction.
