Synopsis (Goodreads):

Erin Lindsey takes readers on a chase through Gilded Age Manhattan, filled with wonderful historical details, ghosts, romance, and Pinkerton detectives in Murder on Millionaires’ Row, a delightfully charming debut mystery.

Rose Gallagher might dream of bigger things, but she’s content enough with her life as a housemaid. After all, it’s not every girl from Five Points who gets to spend her days in a posh Fifth Avenue brownstone, even if only to sweep its floors. But all that changes on the day her boss, Mr. Thomas Wiltshire, disappears. Rose is certain Mr. Wiltshire is in trouble, but the police treat his disappearance as nothing more than the whims of a rich young man behaving badly. Meanwhile, the friend who reported him missing is suspiciously unhelpful. With nowhere left to turn, Rose takes it upon herself to find her handsome young employer.

The investigation takes her from the marble palaces of Fifth Avenue to the sordid streets of Five Points. When a ghostly apparition accosts her on the street, Rose begins to realize that the world around her isn’t at all as it seems―and her place in it is about to change forever.

Review:

Thanks again to @stmartinspress for sending me a copy for review!

This book was so much fun to read! I love how the genres of historical fiction and mystery melded together well and how the plot kept me on my toes!

Rose is a young housemaid in a wealthy house in New York and she loves where she works and who she works for. She comes from Four Points, which is considered to be the rough neighbourhood of Irish Americans. When Roses employer goes missing, Rose goes on the hunt and is convinced she will find him and whoever kidnapped him. Through her searchings she discovers a whole lot more than she bargained for, and might be putting herself at risk! Rose was a fun character to read about and I loved how she put her heart and soul into the whole search!

If you’re looking for a fun historical fiction novel then I definitely recommend this one!

Happy reading!
