Murder in Murray Hill
Victoria Thompson
5/5
This addition to the Gaslight Mysteries felt a lot darker than the ones before. It dealt with kidnapping, rape, and emotional manipulation along with a lot of other sensitive topics. It wasn't very graphic, just mentioned in ways that present the issues and really make you think about how many times it must have happened to women without anyone really thinking about it. Like all of the Gaslight Mysteries, it made me learn about elements of history that may have been considered mundane at the time.
The emotional and harsh plot of this book was balanced with the lightness of Sarah and Malloy's confirmed feelings for each other. Their relationship now that they're engaged is so unproblematic and just sweet. I've been waiting fifteen books to get to this moment and I really am so glad that I was able to make it this far.
We're getting into some interesting topics as Malloy moves away from the police and into private detective work. There's also the money factor, excited to see how they both use their money for good since they're not typical millionaires. Overall, just excited to see where things go moving forward!
