    About this audiobook

    After a routine delivery, midwife Sarah Brandt visits her patient in a rooming house and finds that another boarder, a young girl, has been killed. At the request of sergeant Frank Malloy, she searches the girl's room and discovers that the victim is from one of the most prominent families in New York-and the sister of an old friend. The powerful family, fearful of scandal, refuses to permit an investigation. But with Malloy's help, Sarah begins a dangerous quest to bring the killer to justice before death claims another victim.

    • 4/5
      I like the book, too much skipping so some parts were missed
    • 1/5
      Slow, dry and boring. There’s nothing gripping, engaging or fast paced about this book
    • 5/5
      Great start to a series! Characters are are strong and smart with complete back stories. The descriptions of the slums and other places were so well done it was easy to visualize them and feel the splendor of Sarah’s parents’ home and the despair of the slums. I listened to the audio version of this story and thought the narrator did a good job.
      I can’t wait to read, or listen to, the next book in the series!
