Review:

"...Every metropolis should be so lucky to have its own Sweet Auburn - and a book that so deftly serves up its mysteries."
- Mark Wilson, wildlife journalist, chapter author and contributing photographer for Artic Wings: Birds Of The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

"...This book whispers in some places, cries out in others; it draws you in with nuance and stuns you with resplendence.   And throughout, it is a paean to the enduring treasure that is Mount Auburn.  Dead in Good Company deserves a place on your bookshelf and in your heart."
- Stephen Puleo, author of Dark Tide: The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 and The Caning: The Assault That Drove America to Civil War
