"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). :) "
— Katie, 1/28/2014" I loved this book the first time around and now I am re-reading it so that the characters are all fresh in my mind when I start the newest book in the series! "
— Carrie, 1/26/2014" really one of the best of the bunch. "
— Marshall, 1/24/2014" This is was a good old fashioned mystery perfect for the gentle reader. "
— Faith, 1/20/2014" 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! "
— stitchnsnitch, 11/26/2013" Good mystery set in early New York City. "
