Murder In Chinatown (Gaslight Mystery)
Victoria Thompson
Berkley, 2008
Loved the book
Victoria Thompson has a wonderful writing style, her books always have me on the edge of my seat, and I never figure out who the murderer is until the end. One of my favorite authors, and as always Murder in Chinatown lives up to all of the other gaslight mysteries.
