A really great start to the Gaslight Mysteries! Id been wanting to start this series for over a year and finally sat down to take it on. I wish I hadn't waited so long.

Though I have a long way to go to catch up with the newer released books in this series, its a great thing. I can just binge read, back to back, knowing the stories will keep on rolling.

I thought the author did wonderfully in describing the people and times during the Victorian period. I felt like I could see, smell, hear it all. Instantly transported to the busy New York City streets of the time.

A unique read in where the main character is a midwife, young but full of life and spirit. Intelligent, witty and caring, all of this in a lady who puts a crime scene together, discovering who the perpetrator in the murder could be.
I recommend this series!
