Plucky young attorney Sarah Woolson flouts proper Victorian notions of feminine behavior in this nineteenth-century answer to Legally Blonde. Though her own law firm barely tolerates her, and her mother begs her to settle down, Sarah sets out to prove herself in her first criminal trial.
When a woman whose husband has died in a sweatshop fire asks for Sarah's help in finding the culprit, she insists on taking the case against her boss' wishes. Even more scandalously, when several people affiliated with a charity hospital die within a few days of each other, Sarah puts herself in the middle of the puzzle, racing against time to find the killer and defending a Chinese man accused of murder. Imagine, a woman lawyer in court!

There is an extraordinary moment in this novel when Anna Fields transports the listener into the consciousness of a character succumbing to the effects of a deadly poison. This moment and others elevate the sequel to THE NOB HILL MURDERS. Late nineteenth-century San Francisco attorney Sarah Woolson juggles three complicated cases, one handsome suitor, and four deaths with aplomb. Most enjoyable are Fields's portrayals of an irascible Chinese cook and a Scottish colleague. Fields continues to amaze as she switches personas, accents, and tone with alacrity. Listeners looking for likable characters, a plausible mystery, and a satisfying denouement narrated by one of the industry's best need search no further.
