The Prodigal Son Mission on Mulberry Bend stands as a refuge for girls who otherwise would have to live by selling the only thing they have of value - themselves. The work being done there so impresses midwife Sarah Brandt that she volunteers to help out however she can - with clothes, with medical assistance, and with the organization of a benefit dinner. And when one of the girls is found dead and refused burial because of her former life, Sarah's passion for justice is aroused. Reluctantly, Sergeant Frank Malloy agrees to look into the death, if only to keep Sarah from endangering herself by pursuing the matter. But Sarah cannot be kept out of the investigation, and, just as Malloy feared, her attempts to find the cause of the unfortunate girl's death put her in deadly danger - from an unexpected source.

Well I cried with this one. The author knows how to pull at the heart and weave a story of murder.

But now cannot wait to get to the next!

As usual, the mystery is excellent. The writing is good, although this installment has a little more over-explaining than the others do. The author and her editor forgot that we readers understand when something is implied. We don’t need things like a look, a word, or an action explained like we’re simpletons. Overlook this, if you can, for a really good mystery.

Sadly, the narrator only knows an few emotional expressions: angry, petulant, and snarky. The whole story is read in exasperation. I try to imagine the true emotions and subtle nuances of the characters during dialog to give them more depth, interest, and relationship growth. But doing that while trying to block out how the narrator voices them is exhausting and detracts from the excellence of the book. I’ll continue to buy these because the mysteries are so good, and I do like the sub stories and family stories.

This is another good mystery about Sarah and Frank Malloy. In this book there is a prostitute turned up dead from a home that helps girls. She looks like Sarah and that shows Frank how much he likes her. He first thought it was her. Sarah as usual goes digging for clues. Frank Mallory has to follow to help and keep her safe. This book held my interest. It's a good simple easy to follow mystery. You don't know who the killer is till the end. Everyone you think it is it turned out it's not. I'll continue with this series. Callie Beaulieu does a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

I'm hooked on this series! Mrs. Sarah Brandt--Victorian widow and midwife--donates clothes to a mission for wayward young women, only later to be asked by Sergeant Frank Malloy to identify one of them found dead in the New York City park. As Sarah's friend, he recognized her hat and suit on the dead woman. Thus starts the search for the killer.

I loved the twists and turns. Victoria Thompson is a wonderful writer!

Would be a great TV series!!

Audible was having a major 85% sale so I snatched up as many of the books I could, up to 7! I can't wait read the next one. Great read, great narrator.

So enthralling!

Would you listen to Murder on Mulberry Bend again? Why?

Absolutely! The introduction of Sarah's 'soon to be' foster child really adds a new and very special addition to Ms Thompson's cast of characters.

Outstanding

The story was great, I really love this series. However the narration was a bit robotic. There wasn’t a smooth reading. Thankfully I have the rest of the series in paperback, aside from one other book I had to purchase here.

Great story!
