Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature sponsored by Breaking the Spine. It is a great way to share upcoming releases.
Victoria Thompson's Gaslight Mysteries are one of my favorite mystery series. Only one book a year is published and the next one comes out in May. I am waiting for Murder in Murray Hill (Gaslight Mystery #16).
From Goodreads:
"When
facing injustice, the residents of nineteenth-century New York City’s tenements
turn to midwife Sarah Brandt and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy to protect
their rights. Now, as the Edgar and Agatha Award nominated
series continues, the two must track down a cruel criminal preying on the hopes
and dreams of innocent women…
A
Gaslight Mystery
Frank
Malloy has never known any life other than that of a cop, but his newfound
inheritance threatens his position within his department. While trying to keep both
his relationship with Sarah and his fortune under wraps, he’s assigned to a new
case—finding a missing young woman for her worried father, Henry Livingston.
It seems
the girl had been responding to lonely hearts” ads in the paper for months
before she disappeared. Her father thinks that she’s eloped with a deceptive
stranger, but Malloy fears the worst, knowing that the grifters who place such
ads often do much more than simply abscond with their victims. But as Sarah and
Malloy delve deeper into a twisted plot targeting the city’s single women, it’s
their partnership—both professional and private—that winds up in the greatest
peril…."
