Publisher's Summary

Women rich and poor come to her, desperate and in dire need of help – and discretion. Dolly Merishaw is a midwife and an abortionist in Victorian Toronto, but although she keeps quiet about her clients’ condition, her contempt for them and her greed leaves every one of them resentful and angry. So it comes as no surprise to Detective William Murdoch when this malicious woman is murdered. What is a shock, though, is that a week later a young boy is found dead in Dolly’s squalid kitchen. Now, Murdoch isn’t sure if he’s hunting one murderer – or two.

Reasons for Liking this Book on one of Detective Murdock’s Mysteries

I liked the plot. I have always enjoyed the television series and the book was just as enjoyable. The only thing I found unsettling was how long the murder took to be solved. I guess that makes sense because what took me hours to listen to, on tv the mystery would have been solved in an our. 😀!

I enjoyed the performance and reading of the novel. Fun!

Excellent read

The story is well written with well developed characters. I wouldn’t have expected anything less from this author
