Louisa and the missing heiress

ISBN: 071162005998

Autor: Maclean

Louisa and the Missing Heiress launches a cozy mystery series featuring the author of Little Women as sleuth. From childhood, Louisa May Alcott led a remarkable life. Her father was an abolitionist, a vegetarian, and a Transcendentalist. The family home sometimes served as a station for runaway slaves traveling to freedom in Canada. Educated mostly at home by her father, Alcott also studied under family friends Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Margaret Fuller. The family lived in genteel poverty in Concord, Massachusetts, where Alcott worked at various jobs, from domestic servant to teacher, before succeeding as a writer.

In Louisa and the Missing Heiress, Louisa is twenty-two, living at home with her parents and sisters, and struggling with the first draft of a blood and thunder story quite different from her soon-to-be-published collection of childrens stories, The Flower Fables. When the body of her wealthy friend Dot is fished out of the river in Concords seedy wharf district, Louisa is shocked by the apparent callousness of Dots husband and family. And when she realizes Dots death was no accident, her sense of responsibility and penchant for adventure drive her to investigate.
