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.

I liked this story because Rebekah proves to be a very strong and determined individual in having to overcome her internal struggles. Many of the situations described seemed to be very realistic and I'm not ashamed to say I cried right along with her!
