When Midwife Sarah Brandt delivered a baby in Chinatown, she encounters Irish women who have married Chinese men. This is during a time when Chinese women were not allowed to immigrate to the United States. Several of the men married Irish women who were also alone in the city. Sarah meets 15-year-old Angel Lee, a biracial teenager who doesn't want to marry the older Chinese man her father has chosen for her. The next day, Sarah learns that Angel has disappeared. She decides to ask Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy for any ideas where the girl could be. When Angel's body is found in an alley, Malloy and Sarah find themselves drawn into the middle of another mystery.
The 9th book in the Gaslight Mysteries series is another entertaining read. While Sarah and Malloy investigate the murder, we learn about the prejudices faced by the Chinese immigrants in New York City at that time. This mystery has several suspects. I latched onto one suspect for over half of the book, then realized who the actual villain was in the second half. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
