Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson (Gaslight Mystery #1) - January 2018

[Jonetta]

After a routine delivery, midwife Sarah Brandt visits her patient in a rooming house and discovers that another boarder, a young girl, has been killed. At the request of Sergeant Frank Malloy, she searches the girl's room, and discovers that the victim is from one of the most prominent families in New York and the sister of an old friend. The powerful family, fearful of scandal, refuses to permit an investigation. But with Malloy's help, Sarah begins a dangerous quest to bring the killer to justice, before death claims another victim.

Discussion questions are now posted!

For those who have already progressed through the series, I’ve created a spoiler info section in the book description topic that may serve as a memory jogger.

FYI, I’ve also added more images in the Late 19th Century topic, inspired by Veronica:)
