This is number 18 in the series and I'm still enjoying the stories. This installment was a bit different as it didn't involve the two main characters of the series, former police detective Frank Molloy and midwife Sarah Brandt. Instead, the secondary characters that we've come to know in previous books took center stage and solved a murder all on their own. It was nice to see them all working together without the help of Frank and Sarah. This series is excellent in recreating New York City in the last 1890's and most times I learn something about that time that I was not aware of.

Ms Thompson does tend to bog down her stories a bit by having the characters repeat time and again to each other what they have learned. I've learned to put up with this as I love the stories and the interaction of all the characters. It is an easy read and always nice to catch up with "old friends".
