New York. 2 murders, as well as kidnapping. Characters definitely come into their own.

I love this series so much and I love the characters so much. I'm so invested in their lives. Can't wait for Sarah and Malloy to haven't kids

I love any book in this series where Mr and Mrs Decker get involved in the investigation! I love how they can surprise Malloy and Sarah. Mr Decker is really leaning into being a grandfather, and it's just the sweetest thing. The mystery was pretty easy to solve, but nothing to complain about. The historical aspects of these books are always interesting. This time around we learn about investment banks and how they work. It really was a gamble, I suppose it still can be. Excellent read, as always.

When your protagonist is a midwife, as in Murder on Wall Street by Victoria Thompson, everyone is pregnant. Jocelyn Robinson was raped by Hayden Norcross. When Hayden is murdered, Jocelyn’s reformed, ex-gangster, husband Jack fears he will be accused of the crime. He hires midwife-detective Sarah Malloy to find the real culprit. Hayden also raped and abused his wife, Violet Andriessen, so she is also a suspect. The investigation goes to Chinatown where Irish Cora Lee is married to a successful Chinese man and is also pregnant. This turn-of-the-19th-century mystery explores prejudice, women’s rights, and opium use.
By the end, Hayden is found to be so evil, you feel sorry for the murderer.
