"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."

" Best in the series so far! "
— Dixie, 2/9/2014 -
" Awesome mystery just like the others! Easy read... finished it in a few hours. "
— Erin, 2/2/2014 -
" 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). :) "

" A very enjoyable read. Loved the ending. "
— Jill, 1/1/2014 -
" 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. "
— Joanne, 12/19/2013 -
" I was glad to see that Victoria Thompson took her time crafting this mystery, since we've waited so long for this murder to be solved! "

" Excellent mystery..i have started with her first book and now am on the 8th one!! "
— Doris, 11/28/2012 -
" I loved the story. I am getting really comfortable with the Sarah Brandt mysteries as I was able to figure out the ending to it very early on. I must say, though, that I always enjoy the ride. "
— Naomi, 9/13/2012 -
" a quick run read "
— Janiceinbellevue, 7/11/2011 -
" 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. "
— Eli, 5/7/2011 -
" Perfectly satisfying entry into this series!!! "
— Melani, 3/1/2011 -
" 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. "
— Luckngrace, 2/4/2011 -
" Decent mystery. Somewhat melodramatic, perfect for a Victorian period piece. I would give it a 3.5 if I could. "

" This is #10 in the Gaslight mystery series. We learn the truth about Dr. Barndt's murder. The secondary characters, Maeve and Mrs. Decker become more developed. There are hints that Frank and Sarah's relationship may move forward. Enjoyable read. "
— Bonnie, 6/4/2010 -
" Just read thru to book #9, on this series. Didn't think I would enjoy this Author, after reading Anne Perry. But I like these stories fashioned in America's Victorian era. "
— Elaine, 5/6/2010 -
" 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. "
— Dawn, 2/25/2010 -
" I like these turn of the century novels in part for the glimpse into another era. They don't read like historical fiction, however, and I enjoy them. "
