Murder in Rose Hill

A Gaslight Mystery, Book 27

By: Victoria Thompson

Narrated by: Suzanne Toren

Midwife Sarah Malloy and her private detective husband Frank discover that the cure is worse than the disease when they investigate the death of a promising young woman in this atmospheric, riveting mystery from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Murder on Bedford Street.

Sarah Malloy has just helped with the delivery of a bouncing baby girl at her women's clinic, when she receives a visit from an engaging and determined young woman writing an article for New Century Magazine. Louisa Rodgers explains that she is researching the dangers of patent remedies. Sarah is only too happy to tell Louisa exactly what she thinks of the so-called medicines whose ingredients include heavy doses of alcohol and other addictive drugs, and hurt much more than they help.

A few days later, Sarah receives a visit from a bereft Bernard Rodgers, who explains that his daughter, Louisa, has been found strangled in the lobby of the building where New Century has its offices. The police have decided it was a random attack and have made no attempt to investigate, hinting that Louisa got what she deserved for sticking her nose where it didn't belong. Sarah wants justice for the bright young woman but as she and Frank delve deeper into Louisa's life, they find that nothing is quite as it seemed and Louisa is not who she claimed to be. The Malloys must first solve the mystery of Louisa's life before they can figure out who wanted to see her dead...

Another Historical Insight

What I like most are the historical factoids that Victoria always plants that make me want to know more. The patent medicines that were used by unsuspecting women to keep themselves mellow. The general attitude of society towards working women. Always some little tidbit for further investigation. Love it!

Always an exciting adventure

Wonderful characters and enjoy each new adventure. It’s been fun seeing how all the characters take part. Anxiously awaiting the next book.

Snoopers

Snooping Investigating … that’s what the agency should be called. 🫠. I love the stories but the lot of them get very intrusive at times. I do love this series and recommend it to anyone who wants a new series to read. 📖

enjoyable

This series is enjoyable, as well as, educational. I can't wait for the next book.

Copy of another story in series
