Murder on St. Mark's Place

Gaslight Mystery Series #2

By: Victoria Thompson

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

Thinking that she has been summoned by German immigrant Agnes Otto to usher a new life into the world, midwife Sarah Brandt is greeted by the news of an untimely death instead. It seems that Agnes' beautiful younger sister, Gerda, had fallen into the life of a "charity girl". Caught up in the false glamour of the city's nightlife, she would trade her company and her favors for lavish gifts. And now she was dead - victim, no doubt, of one of her "gentlemen friends".

No one cares much about the fate of girls like Gerda, but Sarah does. To find her killer, she turns to Sergeant Frank Malloy. As the two pursue an investigation that leads from the bright lights of Coney Island to the stately homes of Fifth Avenue, they find that their shared passion for justice may cost them dearly.

Murder in St. Marks Place

This is a good series. In this book Sarah gets involved in helping prostitutes that's being killed. She goes undercover to help find the killer. Frank Mallory helps her. I hope he stays in the series. Him and her is my favorite part of the series. If you like goog clean mystery books I think you'll like this series.

Lovely historical fiction

I’m not entirely sure what I expected from this series but I’ve really fallen in love! This is light fare and fun to read.

A very good mystery.

I enjoy the weaving of history of the era in each book. It is interesting to compare it to modern times.

Intriguing story!!

Murder on St. Mark’s Place is a interesting story with twists and turns all the way through! The characters Sarah Brant And Sargent Detective Malloy are very like-able and as the story develops, they blossom into people you could easily befriend. I love Mrs Ellsworth, the neighbor! She’s that Josey neighbor we all have known! Getting to read about Coney Island from that era is so interesting and I had to look up a few places mentioned in the story!! Bravo!! I just wished it had been narrated better, there wasn’t enough drama in the narrators reading.
