Summary
When midwife Sarah Brandt visits Little Italy to check up on a new mother who delivered her baby just the day before, she finds the young woman dead. The family insists that the death was from complications of childbirth. Sarah disagrees. So does the woman's own mother, an Irishwoman who spreads the story that the girl was murdered by her Italian in-laws, the Ruoccos-an accusation that inflames tensions between the two immigrant groups.

The situation escalates when a second death in the tenements nearly leads to riots in the streets as political factions and organized crime take sides and square off over wild rumors and newspaper accusations. Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy realizes that he will need Sarah's help to unravel the secrets of these troubled families, bring a killer to justice, and restore order to the volatile community.

Loved the story, it was as always by this author interesting and well written. The progressive development of the relationship between Frank and Sarah is heartwarming and suits the era this novel was written in. The use of what could be unsavory elements to make a more interesting storyline is done in a tasteful inoffensive manner. The narrator leaves a lot to be desired! She mistake quick reading for good reading. There is no distinction between character voices, (I often think Sarah is speaking when it is actually Frank); no inflection just a boring inappropriate monotone that adds no flavor or excitement, and out of the blue a weird accent for a few sentences. I want to read the entire series so I really hope there is a different narrator in the later novels.
