Summary
Summary
After a routine delivery, midwife Sarah Brandt visits her patient in a rooming house and finds that another boarder, a young girl, has been killed. At the request of sergeant Frank Malloy, she searches the girl's room and discovers that the victim is from one of the most prominent families in New York—and the sister of an old friend. The powerful family, fearful of scandal, refuses to permit an investigation. But with Malloy's help, Sarah begins a dangerous quest to bring the killer to justice before death claims another victim.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“If you like cozy historical mysteries spun with strong characters who evolve with each subsequent book, this long-running series is your cup of tea. Best to read in order, as even the minor continuing characters develop their own compelling story lines.” —Crime Reads
“Sprinkled with fascinating details of turn-of-the-century New York City, Thompson’s old-fashioned mystery takes the reader from the mansions of Fifth Avenue to the flophouses of the Lower East Side…Sarah and Frank are appealing characters, and the author develops their rapport subtly and believably…Thompson vividly re-creates the gas-lit world of old New York, concluding her mystery with revelations that will shock even twentieth-century readers.” —Publishers Weekly
Thompson vividly re-creates the gas-lit world of old New York, concluding her mystery with revelations that will shock even 20th-century readers. —Publishers Weekly
