See all formats and editions

Traveling secretary Hattie Davish is taking her singular talents to Washington, D.C., to help Sir Arthur Windom-Greene research his next book. But in the winding halls of the nation’s capital, searching for the truth can sometimes lead to murder . . .

Hattie is in her element, digging through dusty basements, attics, and abandoned buildings, not to be denied until she fishes out that elusive fact. But her delightful explorations are dampened when she witnesses a carriage crash into a carp pond beneath the shadow of the Washington Monument. Alarmingly, one of the passengers flees the scene, leaving the other to drown. The incident only heightens tensions brought on by the much publicized arrival of “Coxey’s Army,” thousands of unemployed men converging on the capital for the first ever organized “march” on Washington. When one of the marchers is found murdered in the ensuing chaos, Hattie begins to suspect a sinister conspiracy is at hand. As she expands her investigations into the motives of murder and closes in on the trail of a killer, she is surprised and distraught to learn that her research will lead her straight to the highest levels of government . . .

I write the historical cozy Hattie Davish Mysteries series featuring a Victorian traveling secretary who solves crimes in every historic town she visits. "A Lack of Temperance", my first novel and first in the series, was a #1 bestselling historical mystery on Amazon.com. I live in a Victorian farmhouse near Ames, Iowa with my family, where I am happily working on new mystery adventures.

I like the mid-western stories better

I have read all of this series. My favorites are the mid-western stories. I just don't find Washington politics that interesting. The historical content was accurate and illuminating, as always.

The Hattie Davish mysteries are good books to read. They always have an intriguing mystery.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical mysteries

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2016

A March to Remember is Anna Leon-Wilsey’s latest, liveliest, and last historical mystery featuring traveling secretary Hattie Davish. The setting is Washington, D.C., and the time period is the spring of 1894 when a protest march by unemployed men, led by Ohio businessman Jacob Coxey, reached the nation’s capital. The first of two murders takes place when rumors about Coxey’s Army are circulating in the city and the second happens at the height of the army’s march through the city.

Hattie’s position as secretary and researcher for Sir Arthur Windom-Greene allows her to travel and to support herself with meaningful work. It also allows her to pursue her interest in collecting rare plant specimens and to indulge herself with the occasional new hat. Sir Arthur and Hattie are hosted by Senator Smith, his wife, his son, and his secretary. Through her fiancé, Walter Grice, Hattie makes the acquaintance of his sister and her politician husband. She makes multiple visits to Washington’s red light district and she attends a meeting of the Washington Wives Club. Her experiences in the city are unendingly varied, affording her an opportunity to observe behavior, to gather clues, and ultimately to solve both murders.

The book begins and ends at the White House where first lady Frances Cleveland hosts first an afternoon soiree and later a wedding. There are a host of suspects and there is plenty of political intrigue in this well-plotted story that is rich in detail and description. The author’s well researched and well written narrative illustrates vividly the nature of life in Washington near the end of the nineteenth century and personalizes Coxey’s Army with dialog and back stories about the characters who are participants.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical mysteries, especially those set in the United States during the Victorian era. I have enjoyed following Hattie’s travels, adventures, and sleuthing from Arkansas to Rhode Island to Illinois to Missouri. While I will miss Hattie, her typewriter, and her uncanny knack for solving mysteries in each town to which her work takes her, I look forward to reading future books by Anna Loan-Wilsey. Note that I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. This did not influence my opinion about the book and I did not read other reviews prior to writing my own.

Another Hattie Davish Masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2016

I have loved all of the Hattie Davish mysteries and am sorry that this will be the last in the series. I have followed Hattie from the beginning and feel like I know her. Working as secretary for Sir Arthur Windom-Greene in the late 1800s, Hattie's curiosity gets her involved in solving yet another murder, this time in the nation's capital. Jacob Coxey and his men are marching from Ohio to speak on the plight of the unemployed. Recognized as the first march on Washington, Coxey plans to speak on the Capitol grounds but already Senate and Congress members are opposing it. Hattie then witnesses a carriage crash into a pond in which a woman of the streets is killed. She finds some buttons from the driver's shirt as a clue and sets off to find out who he is and why he left the woman to die. As Hattie delves into the highest levels of government, Coxey is stopped from speaking and a member of his group is found murdered. Enter Hattie again and the twists and turns of this story become amazing. Ms. Loan-Wilsey has done her historical research that's for sure and I learned so much from this book. On a happy note, Dr. Grice finally proposes to Hattie and she accepts but she needs to get Sir Arthur's approval. You'll have to read the book to see if that happens. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read about an event that I knew nothing about but Hattie's sleuthing skills are again top notch. I will surely miss Hattie Davish and her adventures and can't wait to see what Ms. Loan-Wilsey comes up with next
