Story
When the affluent Lintons of Lenox Hill summon Sarah Brandt to examine their teenage daughter, their worst fear is confirmed: she is with child. The pregnancy is a mystery, however, as the young woman - mentally still a child herself - is never left on her own and denies that any man has ever hurt her. It's a delicate situation, one which casts suspicion on those close to the Lintons, including their beloved minister, the Reverend Oliver Upchurch.

Publisher's Summary
When midwife Sarah Brandt visits Little Italy to check up on a new mother who delivered her baby just the day before, she finds the young woman dead. The family insists that the death was from complications of childbirth. Sarah disagrees. So does the woman's own mother, an Irishwoman who spreads the story that the girl was murdered by her Italian in-laws, the Ruoccos - an accusation that inflames tensions between the two immigrant groups. The situation escalates when a second death in the tenements nearly leads to riots in the streets as political factions and organized crime take sides and square off over wild rumors and newspaper accusations. Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy realizes that he will need Sarah's help to unravel the secrets of these troubled families, bring a killer to justice, and restore order to the volatile community.

A tiny bit disappointing
I have believed that this series was getting progressively better with each new book. While this one was still good, I just could not get as enthusiastic about it as some past ones. In this story, Sarah Brandt is called to the Little Italy neighborhood in NYC to deliver a baby. However, the child's birth quickly opens up a family crisis and murder, and Sarah is drawn in, along with her friend Frank Malloy of the police department, in having to try to sort out what has happened.
I will say that this narrator has greatly improved, so that helped the book move along at a good pace. But even that did not make up for what was missing. This book had a lot of good focus on the characters involved in the crime, but there was little--almost no-- interaction with the characters I have come to enjoy in the other books. I especially missed the interactions with Frank's son and mother. The story if a good one--if you have never listened to a book in this series you would not miss much by starting here, at the 8th one. But I guess I'll just say that it was not my favorite in the series. I hope future ones will return to the more usual mix of Sarah and Frank's personal lives mixing in more with the rest of the story.

Not bad, but I wish that someone could tell the narrator that it is pronounced black “mah-r-eye-ah” (long i), and not mar-ee-ah”
Not a bad experience, but also not a lot of surprises, other than the occasional mispronunciation of words. Also, it feels almost like a drinking game that this author seems to work the word “miasma” into every book, and food is regularly turning to ash in someone’s mouth. The historic aspect is interesting.

One More Great Story from Victoria Thompson
Another great book in this series. I love this series and everything that I learn about this time in the not to distant past. Frank is becoming more involved with Sarah and the upper crust of the time. Teddy Roosevelt calls Frank to help prevent a major incident between the Irish and Italian residents of the city. It is fun working through the clues with Frank and Sarah using the old gumshoe methods before DNA or even fingerprints. I enjoy reading about an event or custom that sends me on my own research to learn more about the era. The ancillary characters are an essential part of the series. Mrs. Ellsworth, Catherine, Maeve, the Deckers, and the recurring policemen. They all add to the enjoyment of the story. I hope we are seeing a new recurring character in Officer Donatelli. His crush on Sarah is cute and a little irritating for Frank. He is a wonderful addition to the series. Now back for more.
