These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly

Summary: "A young woman in nineteenth-century New York City must struggle against gender and class boundaries when her father is found dead of a supposed suicide, and she believes there is more than meets the eye, so in order to uncover the truth she will have to decide how much she is willing to risk and lose."

Jo's story is fun, intriguing and action-packed. I loved every second of reading this book, and I never wanted it to end! 

Favorite Quote: 
"'I'd hardly called this gallivanting. And besides, I couldn't stay at the party. It was too dangerous. I nearly died.' 

'From what?'

'Boredom.'"
