Read full description of the books:
Widow Sarah Brandt is a midwife in 1896 New York City, which is unusual in that she was well born but is estranged from her wealthy family. When she is called to attend to a woman in labor, she recognizes one of the young boarders in the home. When that girl is discovered murdered two days later, she becomes involved in the investigation with the prickly New York Police Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy.
I was hoping to find another historical fiction/mystery series to sink into and have found it in this one. It's also compelling that it is set in turn of the century (1896) New York City as opposed to Regency or Victorian England. There is a sense of authenticity as the author has embedded historical facts and true characters into the story, which provides the educational component I'm always seeking in this genre.
The mystery is interesting and puzzling, the characters flawed but redeemable (though not always likable) and the history aspect enlightening. However, there are noble qualities to all of them at some level. While I figured out most of the mystery before it was revealed, there was an element that caught me off guard and I liked how the story got to the climax. I enjoyed this first book in what promises to be a really good series and am looking forward to our group discussion.
