The author of Murder on Amsterdam Avenue returns to nineteenth-century New York City to find Christmas in the air, a police detective and a midwife with love in their hearts, and a wealthy newlywed with blood on her hands… Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt are not the only ones who have recently tied the knot. Family friend Mrs. O’Neill was delighted when her daughter Una wed the seemingly wealthy and charming Randolph Pollock. She didn’t wonder why such an affluent man would want to marry a poor Irish girl, no matter how pretty she was. But now Mrs. O’Neill has a problem. Pollock’s servants have found their employer bludgeoned to death with Una cradling his body. 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. Mrs. O’Neill would like Frank to investigate the case and save Una, yet with Frank and Sarah still on their honeymoon, it’s up to the other members of their newly formed household to do some detective work. But solving the mystery behind Pollock’s death means first discovering the truth about who he really is…

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Excellent By E. Gajarsky I've read all of Victoria Thompson's books in this series. This was a bit different since two main characters were away on their honeymoon. However, the author managed to create a great story with the remaining repeat characters. It was by far one of the better books I've read this year in this genre.
14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Character driven and fast paced By Lily - Night Owl Book Cafe When a woman shows up on Franks Malloy’s doorsteps, his midwife Maeve is weary of her appearance and think that this is just another person from her employers old neighborhood looking for a handout. When it turns out that Mrs. O’Neill is there on behalf of her daughter Una seeking Frank’s help to rescue her daughter for being accused of murder, Maeve jumps into the Malloy’s spot to handle the situation (as Frank is on his honeymoon and is unavailable). As Maeve tries to find the real killer, it will take the help of a few other friends in order to clear Una’s name, including the help of Gino Donatelli, a cop who happens to be very sweet on Maeve.Excellent story, I thoroughly enjoyed Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue. Victoria Thompson does an amazing job of combining historical fiction with mystery, into a novel that’s so compelling, it is hard to put down. Character driven and fast paced, I found the 18th book of this series totally engrossing. Maeve was an excellent character. Do not be fooled by the blurb, though it does mention Frank and Sarah Malloy, the usual due of Gaslight mysteries, this one really stars Maeve and Gine. Maeve is fierce, out-spoken and tough as nails. She was such a joy to follow around this mystery and her relationship and banter between Gino Donatelli was both amusing and heartwarming. I loved the little romance brewing between these two. “This is so much nicer than a cab,” Maeve said, stroking the fine wool lap robe. “Much more private, too,” he said, remembering his claim that Maeve was his girl and wishing it were true. He thought she gave him a look, but it was too dark to be sure. “Yes, we don’t have to worry about little ears hearing what we say. I think that’s why Mrs.Decker suggested we go to their house.” Gino managed not to sigh his disappointment that she didn’t get his hint.The story also featured a curious Mrs. Decker, who loves to butt in and her husband, Mr. Decker that finds his wife’s involvement, very amusing especially when she tries to hide it. I love their relationship mainly because of the way Mr. Decker reacts to his wife’s involvement, especially when he finds out that she is doing to sneak behind his back. He teases her, and lures her just to watch her reaction when she realizes that he knows her antics all along. Their interaction is easy, teasing, and can really put a smile on my face. “How very clever,” Mrs.Decker said. “I must remember that.” “Why?” her husband asked. “Are you planning to murder someone?”The mystery was fun, and like I had already mentioned a bit hard to put down. Una is the woman accused of bashing her husbands head in. As we learn more about Mr.Pollock, her husband, you can’t help but feel a kind of resentment for the man and all of his wrong doings. Una was a really hard character to like, so if that was the case that Thompson was building, she had accomplished it because not only did I not like her, I downright hated her by the end of the book. “But I didn’t kill him,” she repeated. Maeve would’ve been angry by this point, but Una just pouted prettily.The woman grated my nerves, especially when throughout the entire book she was using her looks to sway people and to me she just seemed like a total nutcase.heh.The only thing that disappointed me was that I was hoping for a bit more of a holiday feel to the book because the cover suggested that, but I didn’t get much of that at all.Overall, if you are a fan of historical mystery, Victoria Thompson is a master at writing with memorable characters that grow with every book, an engrossing mystery and just simply wonderful writing.I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. her daughter married a nice man with a deal of money By ARG Sarah and Frank are on their honeymoon until the last chapter, but that is exactly what makes this plot work. While they are gone, a neighbor for the Malloys old neighborhood knocks on the door asking for help. Maeve takes pity on the woman, her daughter married a nice man with a deal of money. He has been killed and her daughter arrested. Maeve recruits Gino to get information on the crime. They need an attorney so they go to the home to get a change of clothes and cash and Mrs Decker is recruited to make sure they get in the door. Maeve finds heaps of money in the safe along with a ledger, not knowing what it means they get Mr Decker involved. Soon the foursome are an unlikely team and the idea of Frank starting a detective agency on his return is being floated around. They uncover a big swindle was being perpetrated by the victim and there is more going on than they first suspected. Maeve and Gino have sparks flying and the Deckers are always entertaining when they get involved. I didn't miss Frank and Sarah at all, it was lovely to see the secondary characters take the initiative and get time to shine. Mrs Malloy and the children all make lots of appearances as well. Wonderful holiday theme too
