I liked the story. The mystery wasn't super hard but I enjoyed the setting and the interplay between Sarah and Frank.
My same impression. I really liked that I was fairly clueless about this part of the era and the realities of the police department. Much of this was new territory. Definitely looking forward to reading more.
I really liked this book and thought it was a great start to the series. I found the setting was one of my favorite parts of the story. You certainly don't find many books set in NYC in this era. I've visited NYC several times and talked to a woman who leads a tour on New York City during the Gilded Age. She told us some very interesting things about the city at that time. When we visited the Met, we also saw a display of Gilded Age furniture taken from some of the homes on Fifth Avenue. Much of it was right out of the Astors and Vanderbilts homes.I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
As a Brit turned Aussie I know very little about New York City or this time period. So it is all very interesting for me:)

I enjoyed this book. It was a good introduction for me into a new series. I'm really looking forward to our next read. I'm also interested to see how long it takes Frank to change my mind about him.

I thawed, haven’t gotten completely warmed up yet:)

I really enjoyed this book, I like the author's writing and looking forward to next one ( not sure when I will read it though, probably not the same time as the group).Thanks to Jonetta for all the discussion topics, I really enjoy them.
Thanks, Viki. Join in the discussion at your leisure. You know we will resume whenever you post a message:)
