Sarah Woolson has always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. The trouble is that, in 1880, everyone believes a woman belongs in the home, married and taking care of babies. Using her brains and a little bit of subterfuge, Sarah somehow manages to finagle her way into one of the city's most prestigious law firms, becoming an associate attorney and acquiring her very first client, a lovely young society matron accused of brutally stabbing to death her wealthy but abusive husband. Sarah's sure of her client's innocence, but with the discovery of her secret lover, it becomes nearly impossible to prove.
When four more victims fall prey to the killer's knife, Sarah fears she's bitten off more than she can chew. Bucking her boorish employer, the judicial system, and the very people who should have been on her side, Sarah finds herself embroiled in shady legal maneuvers, a daring Chinatown raid, a secret and very scandalous sex club, and the most powerful and dangerous tong lord in the city's Chinese District.

What did you love best about Murder on Nob Hill?
A really well written story, with brilliant narration. I've been searching for the sequel in audiobook as it isn't available from Audible here in Australia. In the end I had to borrow the rest in book format from the library. Still a great read but not the same experience as listening to it.What other book might you compare Murder on Nob Hill to and why?
With a push you could possibly compare it to the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters, except rather than a female archaeologist in a man's world, the story focusses on a female attorney in a man's world.Have you listened to any of Anna Fields’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to many of Anna Fields' performances, and this is what led me to discover this series. It's always interesting when you've heard the same narrator read multiple books as you being to recognise voices from a character in a different book appearing in a totally unrelated one. An excellent narrator, it is so sad that she is no longer with us.Who was the most memorable character of Murder on Nob Hill and why?
Sarah, who is the main character is certainly the most memorable.Great story, a pity the sequel isn't available

Unlike a previous reviewer I find the main character Sarah W. interesting and full of pluck. These stories are set in the 1880's 40 years before women won the right to vote and therefore, I find Shirley Tallman's male characters and their sexism and racism to be perfectly believable and Sarah's frustration with her society and the men who control it to be reasonable. The author has several important male characters who are neither sexist nor racist so she does not generalize about all men. It is clear that the author has done her research on the role of women in the 1880's and in the legal profession. It is hard to believe but some law schools such as Harvard did not admit women until the 1950's.
The mysteries are good but I enjoy the books because of the characters. I think if you enjoy Elizabeth Peters you would also enjoy this series. I hope there will be many more books in this series and that the love story will become even more central and lead to further growth for the character of Sarah.
Anna Fields was a great narrator and will be missed.
Great Series, Sarah Woolson is wonderful

I was not disappointed.
This book is well written and the narration is spot on.
The characters are smart, the mystery solution is not obvious and the characters have to think outside the constraints of societal norms. Lots of interesting historical detail.
Great listen
Delightful!
