Ne’er-Do-Wells of New England—You’ve Been Warned!
Merinda Herringford and Jem Watts are never lacking for mysteries of the curious and commonplace, but lately business has been a little less curious and a lot more common.
With only missing jewelry and a kidnapped rooster on the case docket, Merinda is bored stiff. Jem welcomes the reprieve as she settles into married life, attempting to learn the domestic skills that have cunningly evaded her as a bachelor girl detective.
The lull in business is short-lived when a telegram arrives from the detective duo’s suffragette friend, Martha Kingston, detailing the mysterious disappearance of a school chum’s sister in Concord, Massachusetts.
No sooner do Jem and Merinda arrive in the States to investigate than they find themselves embroiled in a world of strange affairs, purloined letters, and a baffling mystery whose clues lead directly to Orchard House, the homestead made famous by its long-time resident, Louisa May Alcott.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Of Dubious and Questionable Memory Book Author: Rachel McMillan What do you like about this book:
"It could have been avoided had we not accused Henry Tipton, Chief of Police, of stealing his neighbor's rooster."
And so it begins; Merinda Herringford and Jemima Watts "DeLuca", determining to save face while solving their next mystery; blessedly outside the walls of the despicable St.Jerome's Reformatory for Vagrant and Incorrigible Females, where they found themselves after the rooter fiasco. Between Merinda's friend, Inspector Jasper Forth, and Jemima's husband, journalist Ray DeLuca; losing a little wager is not an option.
Travelling from Toronto to Boston, determined to solve the case-of-the-missing-sister, the two sleuths follow slim leads before they come to an obvious conclusion, no one there appears to be concerned that the young lady is missing, which is most curious, indeed.
Enjoy following every lead, as Herringford and Watts strive to redeem their reputation.
