Midwife Sarah Brandt has been summoned to the Linton residence in the affluent Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. The Linton's are concerned about their mentally disabled daughter, Grace, who shows signs of pregnancy. Sarah's examination proves that Grace is almost six months pregnant. But Grace, who has the mental capacity of a five-year-old, cannot tell them who got her in this condition. The parents swear that Grace is never out of their sight. Sarah enlists Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy to help determine the baby's father.

This is another excellent entry in the Gaslight Mystery series. As Sarah and Frank question people who may have come in contact with Grace, they discover the local church is harboring some dark secrets. Frank is also looking into the death of Sarah's husband, Dr. Tom Brandt. As he finds a new lead to investigate, he's not sure if the discoveries will help or hurt Sarah.

The mysteries in this particular book were very easy to figure out. But that didn't hurt my enjoyment of it. I love this series and its characters. You learn something new about each one as they appear in the book. I'm looking forward to the next installment of the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
