Another birth finds Sarah Brandt in a part of New York virtually unknown to "respectable" society, and once again finds her involved in a murder - this time of a young resident. As usual, I enjoyed Thompson's depiction of a challenged culture, and I found her to be sympathetic to the historical inspiration of her own writing. The mystery itself runs in circles with little progress until the end, but the narrative is nonetheless enjoyable.
