Maureen Jennings
Women rich and poor come to her, desperate and in dire need of help â€“ and discretion. Dolly Merishaw is a midwife and an abortionist in Victorian Toronto, but although she keeps quiet about her clientsâ€™ condition, her contempt for them and her greed leaves every one of them resentful and angry. So it comes as no surprise to Detective William Murdoch when this malicious woman is murdered. What is a shock, though, is that a week later a young boy is found dead in Dollyâ€™s squalid kitchen. Now, Murdoch isnâ€™t sure if heâ€™s hunting one murderer â€“ or two.
