Publisher's Summary
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.

great story. I didn't figure out who the bad guy was until very close to the end. suspense kept me turning pages, and when listening, kept my steps slower so I could hear what happened next! if you enjoy clean (no R rated scenes) this is a cozy mystery you will enjoy.

Promising!
I’m glad I decided to keep going with this series, I can honestly say I liked book 2 much more than book 1!
I like the relationship between Sarah and Frank along with their respective back-stories, and the fact that the books are set in turn-of-the-century New York City; these are the elements that will keep me going with the series.
As for the actual crime / murder plots: I remain underwhelmed. The set-ups are simplistic and solving them feels like a series of lucky coincidences… however based on the way book 2 ended I am hopeful that things will become more interesting in future instalments.

Intriguing story!!
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.

Just a bit too ...
I enjoyed the book but would have enjoyed it more if the author was just a bit more balanced in her views of men and women. It seems men are to be forgiven nothing and women are to be blamed for nothing. We are, in fact, all humans together.

Great story, awful narration
Really enjoy these stories having a read a few in the series now. Great if you live in NYC or are planning a trip there, as you get a feel for the history of the city.
I’m not sure if it’s down to audible or the publisher but the narrator (speaker) is dreadful! It sounds almost robotic like a computer is reading.
My advice, skip audible and read the book!
