Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy is called to investigate the murder of wealthy businessman Nehemiah Wooten. Wooten's daughter, Electra, is deaf and attends the Lexington Avenue School for Deaf Mutes. Frank's own son is deaf and attends a rival school. When Frank learns that Electra is working with a teacher at his son's school against her father's wishes, he begins to believe that someone at his son's school may have been behind Mr. Wooten's murder. On visiting the Wooten household to tell them of Mr. Wooten's murder, Mrs. Wooten goes into labor and Frank must call midwife Sarah Brandt to help him with the baby...and the murder investigation.

Another excellent addition to the Gaslight Mystery series. Unlike the last couple of books, Frank and Sarah are working closely together on this one. There are lots of suspects in this story. It had me stumped for a while. I highly recommend this book (and this series). My rating: 4.5 Stars.
