The fourth in the Gaslight series, Murder on Washington Square, brings midwife Sarah Brandt together again with Det. Frank Malloy when her neighbor's son is accused of murder. These books just get better and better. Thompson brings the 1890's New York City to life and her characters are strong, colorful and alive. The relationship between Malloy and Sarah continues to evolve and the banter between the two is classic. They are just starting to realize they may be attracted to one another, but the difference in their classes doesn't allow for feelings. The author portrays the etiquette of the day, with finesse and it's amazing to see how life was lived back then.
The story was wonderful and had a bit of a twist at the end, although I did figure out the killer before the end of the story. All told, another winner from Victoria Thompson!
