When a family friend dies suddenly, Sarah Brandt and her mother make a bereavement call. It seems Charles Oakes suddenly took ill. He died a few days later. Charles' father thinks there may have been foul play and asks Sarah if she and her fiancée, Frank Malloy, would investigate. They discover that Charles was poisoned. Someone put arsenic in his warm milk. But everyone in the household professes to love Charles...everyone except his wife. Now Sarah and Frank have to put their wedding plans on hold in order to discover if there is a murderer living in an Upper West Side Mansion.

This is an excellent addition to the Gaslight Mystery series. There are a handful of suspects in this story. I kept jumping from one suspect to the next. It had me stumped. I was also happy that the author did not drag out Frank and Sarah's engagement over several books. My rating: 5 Stars.
