I really enjoyed this first book in the "Gaslight" Victorian Mystery series..We meet Sarah Brandtt a nurse midwife in turn of the century New York city..She is the widow of Dr.Thomas Brandt who was murdered several years before. His murder was never solved. Sarah is of a well to do background who is at odds with her family because of her chosen life and profession. She meets Detective Francis Malloy during a murder investigation and they are at loggerheads almost from the start..We are introduced to the mores and attitudes toward "the upper class" and the police. I am looking forward to future books to see how the relationship between Sarah Brandt and Detective Sargeant Francis Malloy develops......
