When a murder may hold clues to the death of Nick's sister, he and Celia will go up against San Francisco's privileged and powerful to unearth the truth . . . Detective Nick Greaves has always been haunted by the death of his younger sister, and that pain is brought vividly to the surface when a dead body fished out of the bay turns out to be her former beau. Certain that the man was murdered to cover up what he knew about his sister's tragic end, Nick is determined to find the man's killer. And when Celia turns up information that could be crucial to his investigation, he reluctantly agrees to accept her help. But no sooner do they begin their search than it becomes clear that powerful forces are at work to stop them. First Celia is threatened when she looks into the shady dealings of a wealthy family's fashionable auction house, and then an innocent man is killed when he's hit by a bullet intended for Nick. With mounting evidence pointing to high-end smuggling and police corruption, Celia and Nick must face down San Francisco's elite to catch the killer-and to find answers that may finally let Nick put his demons to rest . . .

No Rest for the Departed by Nancy Herriman transports readers to San Francisco in the spring of 1868. The author captured time and place with her detailed depictions. I thought the characters were developed. Nick and Celia are attracted to each other (there is romantic tension between the pair), but neither seem ready to act upon their feelings (especially Nick). Celia needs to ditch the widow�s weeds and it is time for Nick to let go of his guilt (over so many things), so he can begin living his life. The mystery is complex, and it unravels slowly. A current murder ties into the death of Nick�s sister, Meg. I did not like Celia�s aggressive manner when questioning people (she should know that honey catches more flies than vinegar). I expected Celia to be smart and savvy (to subtly draw the answers out of people). I was surprised by the people who were willing to talk to Celia. I thought some of the seedier individuals (known criminals) would avoid her since Celia is known to have worked with the police in the past (it was in the newspapers, which was mentioned a few times). There is a detailed wrap up of the convoluted whodunit at the end (I am not sure that all the loose ends were tied up). No Rest for the Departed is the seventh A Mystery of Old San Franciso. As I discovered, No Rest for the Departed cannot be read as a standalone. Some details are filled in as the story progresses, but there were many that were missing. The story moved at an unhurried pace. While No Rest for the Departed did not appeal to me, fans of the series will enjoy it.
