Murder on Wall Street

By: Victoria Thompson

Narrated by: Suzanne Toren

Midwife Sarah Brandt Malloy and her detective husband Frank must discover who killed a prominent - but despised - society banker before an innocent family is destroyed in Murder on Wall Street, an all-new gaslight mystery in the USA Today best-selling series.

Reformed gangster Jack Robinson is working hard to bolster his image in Gilded Age New York City society as he prepares to become a new father. But when Hayden Norcross, the man who nearly ruined his wife, is shot in cold blood, Jack knows the police will soon come knocking on his door.

Frank Malloy has to agree - things don’t look good for Jack. But surely, a man as unlikeable as Hayden had more than a few enemies. And it’s soon clear that plenty of the upper echelon as well as the denizens of the most squalid areas of the city seem to have hated him.

Sarah and Frank have their work cut out for them. As the daughter of the elite Decker family, Sarah has access to the social circles Hayden frequented, and the more she learns about his horrific treatment of women, the more disturbed she becomes. And as Frank investigates, he finds that Hayden had a host of unsavory habits that may have hastened his demise. But who finally killed him?

Sarah and Frank must put the pieces together quickly before time runs out and Jack’s hard-won new life and family are ripped apart.

Great

Another great addition! Loved that Jack was back in this book with his wife.

Kept my attention and cannot wAit for more!

great read

I loved this book. I didn't see the end coming. I love the characters and how they cross the societal norma women are placed in even today. Please write more because I cannot put these down!

Great story! Narrator not so great.

I love the Gaslight series. The characters have been well formed and have grown nicely. I started reading them when they first came out. I’ve listened to the last couple on Audible and have been disappointed in the narrator. I don’t find the characters believable. This may be because I started off reading the series and formed clear characters from the beginning.

Great Book-Bad Narration

I’ve read all the Gaslight mysteries. I’ve listened to the last three books as audiobooks and the narrator gets the characters all wrong in my opinion. Why does a character who’s about 40 sound like they’re 60? The over exaggerated accents are unenjoyable as well.

Rollicking Mystery

Loved it! This is another gem, fresh as the first in the series. It's expertly narrated, with great attention to consistent character voices bringing the plot vividly alive.
