Welcome to Litsy!

The 2nd book in the Gaslight Mystery series (#SeriesLove2024). This time Sarah gets involved in the world of the “Charity Girls”, trying to help a client determine who murdered her sister. The mystery was good, but what is wonderful about these novels is the evolution of Sarah and Frank‘s relationship. I look forward to the next in the series.

The first in the Gaslight Mystery series (#SeriesLove2024) featuring midwife Sarah Bryant and police detective Frank Malloy. Set in the gaslight era, Thompson did a great job evoking the era, it was a great first in the series. I look forward to reading more.

A historical fiction series featuring midwife, Sarah Brandt and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy. This is book number seven and in it the duo is on a mission to find out who is responsible for impregnating Sarah‘s developmentally disabled patient. I am sad I came to this series so late, but was thrilled to learn there are 26 books in the series with a new one slated for April 2024.

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

Well, I finished this before Audible locked it and really enjoyed it. As always, I really enjoyed Sarah and Frank and their interactions with both others and each other. The story was also pretty interesting and kept me guessing. #audiowalk I started The River We Remember as my new walking book.

The audiobook for this 3rd entry in Thompson‘s series is available for free on Audible until September 12, so I‘m listening to it. I‘m back up in SC, and I listened to most of it on the drive up. It‘s an interesting story and introduces chiropractors. I walked by the river today. #audiowalk

Someone is murdering young girls, but no one really cares because they are girls with “bad reputations.” Sarah gets angry about the injustice and sets out to solve the murders. The story was interesting but I knew who the murderer was VERY early. Sarah and Frank, though, not the stories, are the reasons to keep reading this series. Picked up Ordinary Grace again. #audiowalk

I put aside Ordinary Grace for a bit because this book is only available on Audible Plus until 9/12. I like Sarah, but she is naive. And Frank! He‘s so resistant to any kind of help from anyone for anything! He just makes everything harder on himself. I think I know the murderer all ready, but I could be wrong. #audiowalk

I liked this book but more because of the characters than because of the mystery. Sarah is a midwife who used to belong to one of the high society New York families, and Frank is a cop who may or may not be corrupt. The mystery was interesting enough, but I guessed every single twist (and there were quite a few). It would‘ve been nice if at least one was a surprise, but nope. Still, I would read another in this series. #audiowalk

I‘ve decided to stick with Murder on Astor Place as my #audiowalk book for now. It was hot outside today but was so cloudy that it was bearable.
