Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson
4.0
This book has been sitting on my shelf for years. I am so glad I finally picked it up!
A Murder on Astor Place is the beginning of the Gaslight Mystery series, a historical mystery series that runs 26 books deep with more being published every year.
This was very good! Our two main characters were likable even though they didn't get along with each other. Which is just fine, as it made for good and entertaining banter.
The mystery was good and kept me guessing. There was some commentary on class distinction and I liked all interesting facts about midwives and police history in New York during the turn of the century.
Recommend!
