Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt are the key characters in this book. He is a policeman while she is a midwife. Together they solve murders. They are awesome characters whose investigation and interactions only improve. In this novel Malloy is called to examine the body of young woman killed in a park. Examining the victim he sees not only blond hair but familiar clothes that belong to his friend, Mrs. Brandt. However, when she is turned over, he sees another face. How did this young woman get Sarah's clothes? How did she die?

It is Sarah who discovers how the woman died and the the two begin to search for a killer. Malloy does not want Sarah involved but she is due to her medical knowledge and work and interest in the area in which the young woman lived. While the author tried to lead the read in several directions, I was able to determine who the murderer must be. It was the only individual who made any sense. However, rather than divulge the exciting ending I urge you to join Malloy and Brandt in their investigation of this interesting murder.
