Mystery Historical
Gentle Reader, In 1855, even though I was still the unknown "Louy" Alcott, I had started to reap some of the rewards of my labors. Under a pen name, I had sold a couple of my "blood and thunder" romance stories and a collection of children's fables but Little Women was just the germ of an idea. I wish the same were true for murder After a bleak winter in Boston investigating the murder of a close friend, I was badly in need of wholesome air and sunshine. To that end, my family- mother Abba, father Bronson, and sisters Lizzie, May, and Ann- and I visited our cousins in Walpole, New Hampshire. Bust shortly after we arrived in the peaceful hamlet, we were confronted with tragedy: the death of Ernet Notteboom, who purportedly fell into a ravine while hiking. Through his sister pointed her finger at the general store owner who coveted Ernst's land, I found no lack of other suspects with sinister motives. Outraged by the mysterious death of such a young man, I resolved to bring Ernst's murderer to justice.
