Fiction. Literature. Mystery. 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.… (más)

Murder in Little Italy
4 Stars

Well written as always with a realistic portrayal of the animosities and conflicts between the different ethnicities in New York at the turn of the century, which adds to the authenticity of the mystery.

Although the culprit isn't as obvious as in previous books, it is possible to figure out the "who-dun-it" by following the clues and conversations.

Frank and Sarah's slow burn romance is going strong. While some readers find this a little annoying, for me it makes sense both because of the time period and because the genre of historical mystery and not historical romance.

Overall, another engaging story in the series. Recommended for fans of cozy mysteries with light romance. ( )

Sarah Brandt visits a new mother to do a check up only to find her dead in her bed. Nainsi was an Irish girl living with her Italian husband and family. She had managed to alienate pretty much all of them with her ways and behaviors. She was not the average Italian wife and had no intention of being so.

The murder was obviously motivated by the fact that the baby was not her husbands and his family's anger over it. Sarah contacts Frank Malloy and soon they are swimming in suspects. Now with Tammany Hall whipping up the Irish to start riots and control the Italians, time is running short. They must find the killer before there is another murder. ( )

A murder mystery investigated by Frank Malone and Sarah Brandt. Visit turn-of-the-century Victorian New York where Theodore Roosevelt is Chief of Police. Meet Italian policeman Gino, unusual as the Italian immigrants are discriminated against by the Irish immigrants and most police are Irish. ( )

It was my first experience with this series and a very pleasant one it was. The author gave a good feel for New York in the early 1900s, when Theodore Roosevelt was police commissioner. I learned of the impact of two of the major immigrant groups, the Italians and the Irish, and of the difficulties of meshing them into city. The murder/s were interesting, and for once I refrained from peaking at the end. To my surprise I was correct as to the murderer. Having read this one out of order (I know, I know, I just heard the gasps of my friends), I would like to go back to the beginning and pick up the series, and eventually reading several other volumes I have in the house.
