Cover:
As
a summons from Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy, Sarah arrives at the
elegant home of famed magnetic healer Edmund Blackwell to find his
wife in labor – and the good doctor dead from an apparent suicide.
Only Malloy sees what no one else wants to: that Blackwell was
murdered in his own home...
After a successful delivery, the Blackwell baby falls mysteriously ill. Relying on her nurse's training and woman's intuition, Sarah discovers the source of the baby's sickness – and discovers a scandal that leads Malloy's investigation down a gilded path paved with greed, deception, and desire...
My
take:
In
this third book of
the Gaslight Mystery series, Frank and Sarah are back and
into the tangle of the everyday world of New York, to untangle
another mystery.
With
the death of Dr. Blackwell, and
Mrs. Blackwell needing the help of a midwife. Frank calls on Sarah
for help, bringing them a little bit closer to understanding
themselves and each other.
Finding
who killed Dr. Blackwell will take time, as the story unfolds we see
a different side of Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy, his handling of
this case and the comparison his makes of it to his previous cases
and how other 'cops' would handle the case.
I
do believe that with each book the author does even better with
defining the main characters, making the reader wish to become more
interested in the next book to see the reaction of them in their
worlds and themselves.
Warning: Contains
sexual themes and violence that may be uncomfortable for sensitive
readers.
