deadly...how do you catch an invisible killer? by Julie Chibbaro
It is 1906 in New York City and Prudence Galewski is a student at Mrs. Browning’s esteemed School for Girls. The only problem is that she doesn't want to be there. Prudence dreams of science, the human body and the mystery of deadly diseases rather than getting married and running a household. Even though it's unheard of at the time, she is able to get a job as an assistant to Mr. Soper, Head Epidemiologist for the city of New York and joins him in his effort to solve the mystery of a recent Typhoid outbreak, as well as, trying to stop the spread of the deadly disease.
It explores many issues of that time period including the suffragettes and the limited roles of women and Prudence is a great character whom you really learn to care about and root for. This book is high-quality work of historical fiction and one I would definitely recommend.
