Thinking that she has been summoned by German immigrant Agnes Otto to usher a new life into the world, midwife Sarah Brandt is greeted by the news of an untimely death instead. It seems that Agnes' beautiful younger sister, Gerda, had fallen into the life of a "charity girl". Caught up in the false glamour of the city's nightlife, she would trade her company and her favors for lavish gifts. And now she was dead - victim, no doubt, of one of her "gentlemen friends".

No one cares much about the fate of girls like Gerda, but Sarah does. To find her killer, she turns to Sergeant Frank Malloy. As the two pursue an investigation that leads from the bright lights of Coney Island to the stately homes of Fifth Avenue, they find that their shared passion for justice may cost them dearly.

I love historical mysteries with strong female characters. This series has me mesmerized. There are no slow parts. The action and characters keep my attention. Great series.

I really like the characters and details of places, clothes and class. but Sarah who is intelligent and works with families in lower class neighborhoods doesn’t seem to be very people smart. The ending of this book was not very satisfying because she was at times so naive not excused by her upbringing that she didn’t see things in front of her nose. Did the author telegraph too much???

Great details

Murder on St. Mark’s Place is a interesting story with twists and turns all the way through! The characters Sarah Brant And Sargent Detective Malloy are very like-able and as the story develops, they blossom into people you could easily befriend. I love Mrs Ellsworth, the neighbor! She’s that Josey neighbor we all have known! Getting to read about Coney Island from that era is so interesting and I had to look up a few places mentioned in the story!! Bravo!! I just wished it had been narrated better, there wasn’t enough drama in the narrators reading.

Intriguing story!!
