Moderate: Death

Minor: Infidelity, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Racism, and Murder

I was willing to overlook the offhand racist and slightly sexist remarks if the mystery was good, especially considering that this book was written in the 19th century. Alas, the story was long and dragging, the murder mystery was not that gripping, and the characters unremarkable.
