While there were some elements of Murder on Lexington Avenue that reminded me of the last installment in the Gaslight Mysteries series (Murder on Waverly Place), I still it better than the last one. The bulk of the story seems to take place all in one location, with a very limited number of suspects, characters, and possible scenarios. It is clear rather early on in the story that there are really only two possible answers to the mystery, which to some degree is disappointing. Despite this, I enjoyed the way Ms. Thompson moved back and forth between the two, and really left you wondering until close to the end which would end up being the case. I also enjoyed Ms. Thompson’s portrayal of the world of the deaf in turn-of-the-century America. I find it interesting when someone draws a picture for you of how various medical, social, political, economic, and religious issues were viewed in the past vs. how we view them through the lens of history. I guess that’s one reason why I enjoy Ms. Thompson’s books so much!
