This is turning into one of those series where each book is such a pleasure to read that I can't wait to get to the next one. The descriptions of life in New York at that time, the developing relationship between Sarah and Frank plus a new murder mystery in each book makes it an easy series to return to.
In Murder on Gramercy Park three murders follow in rapid succession and it is largely thanks to Sarah's work as a midwife, which makes it possible for her to keep returning to the scene of the fi ...more

Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy is called to the scene of an apparent suicide and sends for Sarah Brandt to help with the victim’s distressed pregnant wife. Soon after Sarah arrives, Frank realizes that he’s looking at a murder that someone tried to disguise. Of course, he’s not going to be able to detach Sarah from inserting herself into the case.

Called in to investigate an apparent suicide, Detective Frank Malloy arrives on scene to discover the deceased’s wife in labor. After summoning midwife Sarah Brandt, Malloy realizes that the death is suspicious and the victim’s many secrets are more than sufficient motive for murder.
Although the mystery is easy to figure out and the culprit is predictable, the details surrounding Edward Blackwell’s questionable medical practice and his wife’s surprising affliction p ...more

#3 Gaslight Mystery
This was the third installment in the Gaslight Mystery series, and I really enjoy them so far. In this one detective sergeant Frank Malloy is called to a new case, to what is at first believed to be a suicide. Frank quickly realises that it’s not possible for it to be a suicide, but murder. He tries as much as he can to keep Sarah Brandt (Midwife) off the case, but when the victim’s wife goes into labour upon shock of finding her husband dead, he realizes he has to call Sarah ...more

Another good one in this series. I should have known better; I thought I had the mystery solved -- was only 2/3 right!
