My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best]: A+
Description of the book: With the Victorian backdrop of New York City, this cozy introduces us to Sarah Brandt, a midwife who is estranged from her wealthy family. When Alicia VanDamm is found strangled to death in the boardinghouse of a client of Sarah's, she must put aside her midwife duties to help Detective Sargeant Frank Malloy solve the mystery behind her death.
Review: This is probably one of the best written cozy's I have ever read. The author was very historically accurate in a lot of the aspects of the story, and everything was very well written. Sarah was very intelligent and both characters were very interesting. If you enjoyed Titanic or Gangs of New York, the historical background created in this story is for you! I wonder if we will see some romance in the subsequent novels?
