pickIt‘s been quite some time since i read one of the #gaslightmysteries featuring PI Frank Molloy & his intuitive wife, former midwife, Sarah.An acquaintance of theirs is strangled on New Year‘s Eve,at Trinity Place where many are gathered to ring in the New Year.The usual pandemonium of the Eve-Trinity Churches bells‘ ringing with hymns & “Auld Lang Syne”,horns honking,people shouting-provides cover for the murder. What follows is an investigation🔽
kspenmoll 🔼 rife with intrigue, family secrets,& notorious criminals. The author‘s genius is not just in plot development,but in her descriptions of historically accurate details of the city streets, homes, fashion, transportation, & the lives of both the “ upstairs & downstairs” characters. All this is going on with the backdrop of dairy milk companies, inspired by the dairy wars in NYC city at the time- those who pasteurize & those who do not. 2mo

kspenmoll @Suet624 Very very busy. I did not guess the perpetrator. This series is like that. The history major in me loves all the historical background & details. 2mo
