This is the 7th Gaslight Mystery by Victoria Thompson featuring midwife Sarah Brandt and police Detective Frank Malloy. The books are set in NYC in the 1890's.

These books are wonderful and should be read in order.

The mysteries are always well plotted and the growing character development in all the characters (not just the main characters, but also the recurring "support" characters) is so much fun to be a part of.

For example, I adore Sarah's mother who is so proper and genteel, but with a common sense and no nonsense about her that is refreshing and delightful.

As an historical mystery series, I give these books a resounding 5 out of 5 rating.
