As a mystery, The Stillwater Tragedy is decidedly minor, of interest mainly as a historical relic. The average reader will have little to no difficulty figuring out whodunnit. But the setting amid labor troubles and workmen is quite interesting, not what I usually expect in 19th century popular fiction. Everyday life is rather vividly portrayed. Three stars (and that's being generous) for the mystery qualities, with a bump up another half for the interesting setting. ( )
