Strange how members of the Robinson family keep falling ill and dying. Can Harriet and Michael figure out what's going on before someone else dies?
When Harriet Peters came to Boston in 1882, the Robinson family took her in like one of their own, and Harriet became closer to Lizzie Robinson than her own siblings. Now, four years later, Lizzie is deathly sick, failing quickly just like several others in her family have done over the past few years. How can so many in one family die from the same mysterious illness? Harriet doesn’t have answers, but she is determined to help the family, bringing in a new-to-the-neighborhood doctor, Michael Wheaton.
As Harriet and Michael close in on the answer, putting their own lives at risk, can the cause be found before anyone else dies?

“A haunting story fraught with danger and intrigue, The Green Dress will leave you with a bittersweet remembrance of the characters long after you read the last page. Some you’ll love and cheer for. Others you’ll love to hate. Author Liz Tolsma blends historical fact and fiction seamlessly in this tale of murder and romance.”
—Michelle Griep, Christy award-winning author of Once Upon a Dickens Christmas
“I’m always up for a true crime read, and Liz Tolsma’s latest foray into the seedier days of life insurance policies, poisonings, and early forensics had me turning the pages as fast as possible. It’s difficult to believe such villainous stories grace our history books, and Tolsma does a wonderful job in bringing them to fictional form.”
— Jaime Jo Wright, Author of Echoes among the Stones and Christy-Award winning, The House on Foster Hill
Suspense rooted in the impossible and wrapped in love. Liz Tolsma tells a fascinating but harrowing tale rooted both in justice and compassion.

Recommended for anyone looking an excuse to stay up into the wee hours and shiver at the slightest shifting shadow.
