Helpful Score: 1
It really says something about a series when a somewhat weaker entry is still an outstanding book. The latest in the Gaslight mysteries is set in the world of Victorian NYC Chinatown and delves into the interracial marriages of Chinese men and Irish women, the prejudices of the time and the "underside" of a generally romanticized era. The plot was quite good, though at times the clues were laid down a bit heavy-handed and I would have liked to see more character development in the personal arc. Still, one of the best mystery series around - and not just in the subgenre of historicals.
