"This was book 10 in the gaslight series. This book solves the mystery that's been developing since the beginning of the series, the murder of Sarah's husband. I really liked this book even though Sarah played a more minor role in it. Most of the plot revolved around Sarah's live-in nursemaid, Maeve. I didn't mind this because I like Maeve as a character and she was able to go places more logically than if Thompson had tried to make Sarah go. By making Maeve the central "detective" the plot was more plausible. I really enjoyed the mystery and loved the ending. It was not at all what I expected."

    " Ehh....it was just okay. There was no new murder in this book...instead, Frank Malloy investigates the cold case of Sarah Brandt's husband's murder. I thought the ending was kind of far-fetched, but at least we now know what really happened to Dr. Tom Brandt. With the murder case closed, Sarah can now try to move on from his death (and hopefully move forward with her relationship with Frank). :) "

    " I enjoy historical mysteries. For me, this was the 3rd in the series. The other characters got more involved in solving Dr. Brandt's murder than did Sarah. I thought I'd figured it out but I was fooled. A fun quick read. "

    " Sarah Brandt didn't come across as all that intelligent. This is the 1st of the Gaslight Series books that I've read & it's the 10th installment, so she just may be off in this episode. And since I like period novels, I didn't have to fight to keep reading. "

    " I won this book from the GR Tour de Genre Group :D Yeah! It started out well with the mysterious "Old Maid's Disease" and likeable characters but, alas, I guessed the plot before every event and became bored. Good clean gaslight mystery, though. "

    " Bank Street, since it hardly involved Frank or Sarah or Frank/Sarah interaction was not my favorite. And I felt I was being told a great deal without being shown it. However, this is the only mystery series I really enjoy and I will preorder the next book in the series. "
