Thompson once again vividly recreates the gaslit world of New York
("Publishers Weekly") in this Victorian page-turner.
Turn-of-the-century New York City shines in the Gaslight mystery
series.
Midwife and sleuth Sarah Brandt and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy
must protect Sarah's mother from scandal after she tries to
contact her dead daughter during a séance that sends one of the
attendees into the afterlife. But first, they have to determine how
the woman was murdered in the pitch dark when all the suspects were
holding hands.
