Murder On Sister's Row: Gaslight Mystery Series, Book 13 (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

“Midwife Sarah Brandt braves the dangers of the tenements in nineteenth-century New York to help the impoverished and, with Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy, bring the guilty that prey on them to justice. Now, the latest novel in the Edgar®-nominated series finds Sarah compelled to save an expectant mother from a fate worse than death… Summoned to an elegant house to deliver a baby, Sarah finds her patient is actually in a brothel. The young woman in labor reveals she is being held against her will and forced to prostitute herself—and that the madam intends to get rid of the baby. To rescue the new mother and her infant, Sarah secures the assistance of Mrs. Vivian Van Orner, a woman of means known for her charitable work. But their success comes at a high price when Mrs.Van Orner is found murdered. With Malloy’s help, Sarah’s investigation uncovers some unpleasant truths about the victim and her charity—as well as the woman and child Sarah risked her own life to save.”This was a GREAT, fast, fun, well-plotted, well-written read! It always amazes me the trouble Sarah can get herself and her family and neighbors into with so many babies she delivers! I have yet to read one of this author’s Gaslight Mysteries that hasn’t been entertaining! I would recommend to anyone enjoy mysteries, good read! Victoria Thompson is definitely one of my favourite writers and I love her „Gaslight Mystery“ series. In „Murder on Sisters’ Row“ Midwife Sarah Brand is called to deliver a baby. Secretly, the new mother tells her the house she’s staying at is a brothel, where she will be forced to work as a prostitute as soon as she recovered from birth. She begs Sarah to help her and her baby to escape and of course Sarah is (again) in the middle of trouble.The two main characters Sarah Brandt and Detective Frank Malloy slowly but surely grow closer with every book (YAY :) and I really love Mrs. Ellsworth and the girls. I also like, how Sarahs parents (especially her mother) find their place in Sarah’s „new“ life after years of having no contact at all.
