Murder in Chelsea by Victoria Thompson

5.0

I loved this book and think it is one of the best in the series. There isn't as much of Sarah on the job as a midwife, but there is so much other things going on, it's fine without it. There has been a slow build-up to the events in this book throughout the series and the payoff is well worth it. In addition to Sarah and Malloy's changing relationship, I also love the way things have been going between Sarah and her parents in the last couple of books. It is great seeing them working with Malloy and Sarah to help find out the true story behind Catherine's biological parents. Things didn't turn out exactly as I expected in the conclusion, but longtime readers will be cheering by the end of the book. I re-read a few of the pages just to savor the moment. That is how great the ending is.

Victoria Thompson has outdone herself this time. This book is highly recommended for anyone who has been following this series. Fans of historical mysteries by Anne Perry would enjoy this series as well. Although new readers could catch up on who is who, there is a major development in the two main characters' personal lives that would be best enjoyed if prior books in the series were read first.
