“Sarah is worried when she is called to deliver a baby to a family who lives in Little Italy. The baby isn’t due for some time and she knows that all her skill may not be enough to save a premature infant. When the baby is born, full term and howling lustily, Sarah knows that Nainsi was pregnant long before she married Antonio. Antonio’s mother was never fond of her Irish daughter-in-law and announces that she must leave the house with the baby as soon as she is able. When the baby’s mother is found murdered the next morning, Sarah calls Detective Sergent Frank Malloy to solve a baffling case. He knows he must solve it quickly since the Irish/Italian tempers are at a breaking point and the city is set to explode in ethic riots and violence.”

“I read that book in one day, and believe me, it's been a while since I've last done something like that. Like all of Victoria Thompson's books, this one was absolutely captivating, right from the start. I just couldn't stop reading. It's thrilling, exciting, with brilliantly written characters and a wonderful setting. ”

“Murder in Little Italy by Victoria Thompson is the eighth entry in the Gaslight Mystery series featuring New York midwife Sarah Brandt and her occasional suitor Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy. A young pregnant Irish girl marries into an Italian family, but when her baby arrives "prematurely" and roly-poly fat, the family turns on her. The next morning the girl is dead, and as Sarah and Frank try to investigate the Black Hand gets involved and no one is talking. Thompson handles the issue of discrimination and prejudice well without assigning blame to either side. She also works in some great New York history into the story without it feeling forced. The chemistry between Frank and Sarah continues to grow, and the subplots with their families are intriguing and don't interfere with the mystery. My only disappointment is that I have to wait for the next installment to come out!”
