Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson

Rating: WARTY!

Victoria Thompson? Really? Writing Victorian stories? Hmm.... You see? Once authors start lying about who they are, you can't trust any author name. "At the turn of the 20th century, midwife Sarah Brandt investigates a murder involving one of New York City’s richest families." And a midwife is investigating murders because? Oh, I know! She gets to use her renowned catchphrase, "Let's deliver this baby to the Big House!" (canned audience applause and laughter)
