Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy is called to investigate the apparent suicide of Edmund Blackwell. Malloy quickly realizes that it is a murder when evidence points in that direction. He sends for midwife Sarah Brandt when the victim's pregnant wife goes into labor. Once Sarah has her foot in the door and learns that there has been a murder, she decides to help Frank solve the case.

This is another enjoyable Gaslight Mystery by Victoria Thompson. This series is quickly becoming a favorite for me. I love the friendship between Frank and Sarah, and her helping him with his son. In this story we have several suspects, most of whom are not very likeable. I thought I had the villains figured out early in the book, but was surprised with the twist in the last dozen pages. My rating: 5 Stars.
