These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly

A wealthy family. A deadly secret.
A young woman with more to lose than she knows.

New York, 1890

Josephine Montfort is one of the city's most eligible heiresses, and as such, she understands the importance of doing what is expected. She knows that a suitable marriage and a comfortable life is what she should dream of -- but her heart can't help yearning for more.

But then Jo's father dies, and suddenly her charmed life is shattered. His death appears to have been a tragic mistake, but Jo quickly discovers that the details of his death don't quite add up. If her father's death wasn't accidental, could it have been suicide? Or worse . . . murder?

Jo is desperate to uncover the truth, but escaping her gilded cage is dangerous, and soon it's hard to know who can be trusted. A chance encounter with handsome young journalist Eddie Gallagher shows Jo just how dangerous digging up her family's past will be -- but some secrets can't stay hidden, no matter how deep you bury them.
