Bookworms, if you're looking for a historical mystery that grips from the first page and begs for discussion, look no further!

We just reviewed The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon, a powerful story set in the brutal winter of 1789 Maine. It follows Martha Ballard, a fierce midwife whose meticulous diary entries are the key to solving a murder mystery in an isolated, secretive town.

This book is a deep dive into:

Martha's voice is authentic and unforgettable, making this a standout for discussion!
