The Ninth Daughter

Picked this one up at Mount Prospect Public Library... The Ninth Daughter is the first in a new series of Abigail Adams mysteries. A woman is murdered in Boston at Abigail's friend's home, amid the prelude to the Boston Tea Party. Abigail plays detective to retrieve the codebook critical to communications among the Sons of Liberty, and to save her friend, who has mysteriously disappeared. Abigail Adams was an educated, beautiful woman who played her own critical part in the Revolution while juggling a household of young children. Founding fathers, hah! Hail to the founding mothers!
