I've enjoyed other work by Donnelly, so when I saw this fair-condition softcover at a local thrift shop I picked it up. It's about a wealthy young woman in 1890s New York, who finds herself caught up in dark and grisly doings while investigating her father's death. The book opens with her and a companion opening a grave to examine the body - quite atmospheric, though the action shifts back from there, with most of the book filling in the how-we-got-here bits. I liked many aspects of the characters and story, though there was a rather-too-trite "heroine mistakes her love-interest's behavior and almost ruins the relationship" bit that I could have done without.
