Fallen Women

By: Sandra Dallas

Narrated by: Barbara Caruso

It is the spring of 1885, and wealthy New York socialite Beret Osmundsen has been estranged from her younger sister, Lillie, for a year. Then she gets word from her aunt and uncle that Lillie has died suddenly in Denver. What they do not tell her is that Lillie had become a prostitute and was brutally murdered in the brothel where she had been living. When Beret discovers the sordid truth of Lillie's death, she makes her way to Denver, determined to find her sister's murderer. Detective Mick McCauley may not want her involved in the case, but Beret is determined, and the investigation soon takes her from the dangerous, seedy underworld of Denver's tenderloin to the highest levels of Denver society. Along the way, Beret not only learns the depths of Lillie's depravity, but also exposes the sinister side of Gilded Age ambition.

Set in Denver Colorado 1800s, The story draws you in from the start, and it is very difficult to stop listening. It's one of those stories that you find yourself thinking about throughout the day and can't stop thinking about after you've finished.

great mystery novel

This novel kept me guessing up until the end. Great historical background about Denver. Colorado.

Nice and convoluted .

There was plenty of suspicion to go around. I enjoyed the human face placed upon the women in the story. Far more three dimensional than most subjects about pleasure workers.
