Buy the book. The reader is TERRIBLE!
Would you listen to Murder on Astor Place again? Why?
No. The reader made a period piece seem like a modern book. There is no distinction in her voices - no giving the things that MAKE it a period piece - the hero sounds like the heroine, who sounds like the bad guys. The only time there's a obvious distinction, there's a note in the file saying the person talked in an obvious way. Even the CHILDREN sounded like the adults.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I actually had to separate the reader from the written word, but I realized the writing was very good.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Totally sapped the book of it's strength.
Any additional comments?
I think I would like the book. It's embroidery season now and I don't have time until after the holidays to read. I'll probably try the 2nd book in the series then. AWFUL READER!

Worst Narrator EVER!
Really enjoyed the story and the characters, but the narrator is completely awful. I had a hard time distinguishing who was saying what and her monotone delivery was really horrid, no expression WHATSOEVER. I think I would have enjoyed this book more in the written form thanks to the lousy voice work done here.

I want to like this series!
I like the early 20th century New York City setting and the titles of the books alone are intriguing to me; I really want to give the Gaslight Mystery Series a fair shot.
It was a bad start - the basic premise was quite improbable and there were frustrating holes in the set-up that were hard to overcome. A cop “hijacks” a midwife into helping him investigate a murder scene? Why? The pretext of “you’re a woman, you might know something” was ludicrous. Throughout the story they maintain a somewhat acrimonious relationship… which I don’t really understand because he asked for her help up front!
Eventually we learn why they are a little frosty with one another and it all has to do with their own personal baggage which just felt planted for the purpose of having something to unravel later on.
I finally had to tell myself to just suspend disbelief and go with it!
Overall it wasn’t too bad. I’ll give Book 2 a try before I decide if I’ll drop the series or keep pushing; the series is already up to 19 instalments so I’ll have plenty to read in the future if I like them!

Piteously bad narration
This lady can’t read well enough to sound fluent and also is incapable of voicing multiple characters. If a robot from a cheesy 70s sci-fi read books this woman would be one of them. Awful.

Don’t waste a credit. Read the book instead.
Story line ok. No best seller but pleasant and interesting enough to follow.
Narration is terrible!!! I thought at one point it was being read by a computer.
Read the book instead.
