Magnificent - a series that continues to get better as it matures. Thompson has hit a perfect balance of mystery and history in Victorian NYC. Always strong plotting, great research, characters you care about, enough tension to keep turning the pages. Not a "cozy" by any means, this entry into the series (like earlier books) probes the social issues of the time while providing a solid mystery to keep the reader guessing.
