Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson

I have to say that Historical Cozy Mysteries are my very favorite reads. And Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson was a very Good Read. It is set in New York in the early 14900's. Sarah Brandt is a widow and a midwife. One day after she has delivered a baby, she finds out that a murder has taken place at the boarding house where the baby was born. Sarah thinks that she knows the murdered girl and is asked  by a policemen to help him solve the case. She does solve the case, and the end of this story is so very shocking!! I very much enjoyed this book. It is the first in the Gaslight Series and I plan to read more of the series.
