“Mr. and Mrs. Linton have called in Sarah Brandt because they fear that their young mentally disabled daughter is with child. When she confirms their fears, Sarah enlists the aid of Detective Sergent Frank Malloy to help find the person who abused this child. The only place they think this could possibly have happened is at her church. When Frank begins asking the charismatic pastor questions, he feels that something is horribly wrong at the church - only Frank and Sarah can have no clue as to the evil that really lies within the church walls. ”

“The entire series that involves Sarah Brandt and her (all but in name) partner in mystery, Detective Frank Malloy are worth your summer reading time. The characters are built with enough detail that you feel you 'know them' after the first book in the series (Murder on Astor Place) and yet Ms. Thompson keeps feeding us surprises about each of them that to continue is a must if nothing else to see where she has the family of chracters end up.

Though having read all in the series to date, my one critisicsim is that she 'reuses' a motivation for murder in Murder on Lenox Hill and Murder on Bank Street. So, although I'm not the type who likes to try to figure out the murderer before the book is over, even to me it jumped out half way thru the Bank Street murder what the 'secret' was before it was revealed in the end chapters. But don't let that stop you -- pick up this series, you'll want to keep visiting the New York City of the early 1900's.”

“Sarah Brandt is called in the examine the young, child-like daughter of a wealthy, respected family. She is pregnant, but the question of how and whom are mysteries. As Sarah and Frank begin their investigations, they start to unravel secrets at the young lady's church that lead to a shocking conclusion, even though I began to suspect the guilty parties before all was revealed. In the background, Malloy's investigation in the murder of Tom Brandt - now endorsed by Sarah's father - begins to turn up some unusual information.”

“Murder on Lenox Hill by Victoria Thompson is the seventh entry in the Gaslight Mystery series starring Sarah Brandt, a New York midwife and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy. This book was probably the most disturbing book in the series so far. The wealthy Linton family asks Sarah to examine their 17-year-old daughter when they suspect that she's pregnant. The girl is mentally disabled and always supervised, so the mystery of who the father is haunts the family. Sarah and Frank work together to track down the rapist. Thompson does a wonderful job of building the story while juggling the long-arcing subplots that have been playing out since the first book.”
