Loved it!! I think this one was one her strongest in the series. It involved Sarah and Malloy, of course along with most of the secondary characters I've come to enjoy. They're all developing nicely and this particular story brings the series into a new realm. I can only see it become more and more interesting! Without giving away the story, it does involve Catherine's mysterious past.

If you are new to this series, you can start anywhere but it will mean much more to start at the beginning and enjoy the relationships and characters develop.

Is this really Book 15??

This is the latest in Victoria Thompson's Gaslight series featuring Det Malloy and Sarah Brandt. If you are a fan, you will not be disappointed. Sarah's midwife "services" are not called upon in this book. Catherine, Sarah's "adopted" daughter takes center stage. Fans will cheer the ending. I just hope that the author will get the next book on the shelves and into our hands ASAP. This is the book you have been waiting for. (Well, maybe the next book is the one we are waiting for) We will see. Ms Thompson you have made us wait long enough. I would suggest reading the previous books, so you will be familiar with the characters. A library book, so I can't help those who have this book on their Wishlist.

Sarah Brandt is shattered when she learns that a woman has inquired at the Daughters of Hope Mission for Catherine, the abandoned child she has taken as her daughter. The woman claims she was Catherines nursemaid, and is now acting on behalf of the girls mother to reunite them.
Unwilling to simply hand Catherine over to a complete stranger, Sarah asks Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy to investigate. But when he goes to interview the woman at her tenement in Chelsea, he finds she has been murdered.
Though her death leaves Sarahs claim to Catherine unchallenged, her sense of justice compels her to work with Malloy to find the killer. Their search takes them from the marble mansions of the Upper West Side to the dilapidated dwellings of lower Manhattan and into the deepest and darkest secrets of Catherines past.
And while Malloy helps Sarah determine the fate of the child she loves, he faces a challenge of his ownand his decision could change both their lives forever.

This was absolutely an amazing, intriguing wonderful mystery! All the main characters were as terrific as they always are even the nosy neighbor lady was more likeable! The whole story just held me from page one and kept me going through the last page, a book you just dont want to put down!
