Product Description
The “tantalizing”(Catherine Coulter) Edgar® Award-nominated Gaslight mystery series featuring midwife Sarah Brandt continues.
In the four years since her husband’s death, midwife Sarah Brandt has become an angel of mercy in the tenements of turn-of-the-century New York, helping the less fortunate bring new life into the world––and, with Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy, seeing that justice is done for them.
Now, Malloy has taken up the task of solving the murder of Dr. Tom Brandt, believing he’s found a motive among the families of the doctor’s patients. But when he discovers what he believes to be the truth, the shocking revelation may destroy Sarah–– and Malloy’s hopes for any future with her…

• Closure 25 August, 2008
After four years, the latest in the Gaslight Mystery series has a follow-up to the murder of Dr. Tom Brandt. Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy of the NYPD undertakes an investigation of the cold case, with the help of the dead man's father-in-law, who funds his effort, even to the extent of providing the additional assistance of Pinkerton detectives. The New York police originally did little to look into the case, and after the lengthy interval it isn't an easy task.
Originally, the widow's rich father thought it best not to pursue the matter, since he believed any facts uncovered would upset his daughter Sarah. As the investigation progressed, revelations uncovered seemed to justify the original assumption, and Malloy, who provides a love interest for Sarah, believed that might prove to be the case. Certainly, what is discovered is shocking, to say the least.
The descriptions of Little Old New York toward the turn of the 1890's are delightful and incisive. The book is sharply written and proceeds at a brisk pace, and the interaction of the characters graphic and moving. The class distinctions between rich and poor are vivid, and the dialog is written in keeping with the times in which the story takes place. Bank Street is the 10th entry in the series, and it is recommended.

• Fantastic 14 October, 2008
Anything that Victoria Thompson writes with these same characters is a delight. Can't wait for the newest book due out in 2009. I started mid-way on this series and then went back and read them all so I wouldn't miss any details. They are an easy read, sometimes the reader figures out the mystery ahead, but it still doesn't diminish the telling of the tale and the vibrant descriptions of the era.

• A Fast-paced Mystery 18 August, 2008
MURDER ON BANK STREET: A GASLIGHT MYSTERY tells of Malloy, who is charged with solving the murder of Dr. Tom Brandt - four years after the fact. Malloy's probe of the doctor's successes and notable treatment failures provides a theory, suspects and discoveries - including one that could threaten his relationship. A fast-paced mystery, MURDER ON BANK STREET is a solid recommendation for any mystery collection.

• Murder On Bank Street 23 October, 2008
I sped through "Murder on Bank Street" in 2 days because I have been wondering who killed Dr. Tom Brandt for 9 books now. I can't say too much because I don't want to spoil the ending, but this book is very satisfying. The last few chapters are fast paced, & there are even some hints that Sarah & Malloy may get together soon. These are truly some of the best historical mysteries out there.
