Rendered mute by the horror of her husband s death, Una cannot explain what happened, so the police have charged her with murder and locked her away in the Tombs to await trial.

While former police detective,Frank Molloy,& midwife Sarah Brandt, are their honeymoon,a family friend,Mrs. O‘Neill, arrives at their door,begging for help.Her daughter has been arrested for the murder of her husband.What makes this a fun read in that the series‘minor characters,such as Mauve, their daughters nanny,Officer Donatelli who worked on the police force with Frank & the wealthy Elizabeth and Felix Decker,join forces to solve this crime

Really enjoyed this twist on the usual gang with Maeve and Gino taking center stage while Frank and Sarah enjoyed their honeymoon.

Just finished this, having binge-read the entire Gaslight Mystery series. Great cozy mysteries set in 1890s New York City.
