Plus there was Mary Handley herself, on the whole I probably would say that I didn't particularly like her and did find her romance unlikely.

(  ) fhudnell | Feb 22, 2017 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.That being said, I think someone who is interested in historical New York would appreciate the story. I just don't know how many people that necessarily applies to. ryan.adams | Dec 18, 2016 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. ) owlie13 | Nov 22, 2016 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Brooklyn's most witty and daring detective risks everything to solve a dangerous triple-murder case After closing a case with the Brooklyn Police Department, Mary Handley is determined to become an official detective in her own right. And when Emily Worsham shows up at her new office-- convinced her uncle John Worsham was murdered and desperate for answers--Mary's second assignment begins. As she investigates the curious circumstances surrounding John's death, Mary soon finds herself entangled in a high-stakes family scandal, a series of interconnected murders, political corruption, untrustworthy sources, and an unexpected romance with a central member of New York's elite. Featuring historic figures like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and the Vanderbilt family, Brooklyn on Fire takes Mary on a wild journey from New York City to North Carolina to uncover not only the truth of one man's death, but to unravel the mystery in three murders - with links tied perilously close to her own personal world.

It's the late 1800s, and Mary Handley is a woman ahead of her time. To her parents' dismay, Mary wants to be a detective. After solving Goodrich case, things have died down and Mary begins to wonder if she will ever get another case...until she is visited by Emily Worsham. Emily wants to find out the truth about her Uncle's death. But when Emily turns up dead, Mary begins to unravel a mystery that puts everyone she loves in danger.
This was a great mystery that reminded me of Sherlock Holmes. Mary was a strong independent woman. I enjoyed how realistic her family dynamic was and there's even a budding romance. I look forward to reading more from this author. (
