Murder in Little Italy
Victoria Thompson
5/5
I live for those scenes where Malloy thinks Sarah put herself in danger (which she does a lot) and freaks out. This series is worth much more than those scattered scenes but I love that this book had one because they feel so few and far in between.
Sarah Brandt accidentally came across another scene of potential foul play. A woman whom she delivered a child for the night before is now dead and no one knows why. Given that the husband and family discovered last night that the baby wasn't his, the entire family has a motive. It goes back and forth, involves rioting, politics, and the Italian mob, and by the end resolving how convoluted it has become is a plot twist.
All of these mysteries have been intricately designed and deserve their own credit because even though some are more predictable than others, they always have at least one element that surprises me. If you love mystery novels or historical fiction then you have to read this series!
