Brooklyn Graves
Description
A brutally murdered family man without an enemy in the world. A box full of charming letters home, written a century ago by an unknown female worker at the famed Tiffany studios. Historic Green-Wood cemetery, where a decrepit mausoleum with stunning stained glass windows is now off limits. Suddenly, all of this is part of Erica Donato's life.
Erica is a youngish single mother of a teen, an oldish history grad student, and the lowest person on the totem pole of the history museum where she works.
Soon secrets begin to emerge in the most unexpected places. An admirable life was not what it seemed, confiding letters conceal their most important story. All set against the background of the splendid old cemetery and the life of modern Brooklyn, the stories of old families and old loves with hidden ties merges with new crimes and the true value of art.

Reviews
" - Margaret Maron, New York Times bestselling author
"Stein's second issues-oriented series entry is an enticing introduction to Brooklyn's immigrant history. This perfect tie-in with Susan Vreeland's historical novel, Clara and Mr. Tiffany, will also appeal to Kathleen Ernst and Joan Hess ("Claire Malloy" series) readers.
" - Library Journal
"The independent Erica is an interesting character, too, especially for her era: a widow earning her PhD in history while working part-time who has difficult relationships with her teenage daughter and her somewhat overbearing father. A couple of possible love interests on the horizon add to the appeal of this engaging historical-mystery series.
" - Booklist
"Stein gives an economical but vivid sense of Erica's Brooklyn neighborhood, and the characterization is wonderful-especially the wryly self-aware narrator's recognition of how much her own confusion is mirrored in her daughter's behavior.
