Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue (Gaslight Mystery Book 18)

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 handsâ€¦

Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt are not the only ones who have recently tied the knot. Family friend Mrs. Oâ€™Neill was delighted when her daughter Una wed the seemingly wealthy and charming Randolph Pollock. She didnâ€™t wonder why such an affluent man would want to marry a poor Irish girl, no matter how pretty she was. But now Mrs. Oâ€™Neill has a problem.

Pollockâ€™s servants have found their employer bludgeoned to death with Una cradling his body. Rendered mute by the horror of her husbandâ€™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. Oâ€™Neill would like Frank to investigate the case and save Una, yet with Frank and Sarah still on their honeymoon, itâ€™s up to the other members of their newly formed household to do some detective work. But solving the mystery behind Pollockâ€™s death means first discovering the truth about who he really isâ€¦
