In Victoria Thompson's Murder on Waverly Place, midwife-sleuth Sarah Brandt is surprised by her mother's desire to attend séances in an undesirable section of New York City. During one dark session, death strikes a participant while all are holding hands around the table. Now it's up to Sarah - and her detective sergeant friend - to deliver her mom from scandal and ferret out the murderer.©2009 Victoria Thompson (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Crime Historical Murder Mystery Fiction

Critic reviews

"Strong characters, clever plotting, and the hint of the supernatural that comes with a story centered around spiritualism make this page-turner a must for both fans and readers new to the series." ( Booklist)

I started to like this series by the end of the first book—but it took the plot twists to convince me to keep listening because I wasn’t sure I liked how the narrator made every character sound mean spirited. But the storyline carried me through and when Suzanne Torren gave the women a more feminine voice while keeping them thoroughly engaged, very intelligent, and supremely cunning, I became hooked! I will certainly be sad when the series ends. This segment wasn’t quite as thrilling as its predecessors but it was well done and, again, I was sad when it ended!

Good Series

I am on my 11th book in the Victoria Thompson’s mystery series. I especially enjoy the era 1894 and descriptions of the lives of the wealthy and the poor.

Enjoy the entire series

I read Book 11 & 12 back to back and while I enjoyed the stories and continue to delight in the series, these 2 installments felt like “bottle episodes” and disappointed me because there was no forward momentum in the Frank and Sarah thread. I am looking forward to that aspect piking up.

Author is amazing. Love the main characters and the secondary ones too. Very well written even if I did guess the murderer! Highly recommended.

Wonderful!

Still not a fan of the narrator. Her voice does not do well with the different characters.
