This author, Victoria Thompson, knows her stuff. Not only does she write a crack-up mystery (cozy tyoe) but she reproduces the life and times of New York City at the turn of the last century. The books all have "A Gaslight Mystery" as a subtitle, which sets it in the early years of the 1900s. Everything Thompson mentions fills out the mores and morals of the "good old days."
