I really enjoyed this historical mystery set in 1870's New York city. It gives you a good sense of the divide between rich and poor in the period as well some of the social issues of the time. The title is a great metaphor for how the past can come back to haunt the present. What really captured me was Donnelly's courageous heroine breaking conventions to uncover the painful truth about her father's murder. Lots of twists, turns and danger with a doomed romance to boot.
