Description
Brooklyn’s most witty and daring detective risks everything to solve a dangerous triple-murder case

After closing a case with the Brooklyn Police Department, Mary Handley is determined to become an official detective in her own right. And when Emily Worsham shows up at her new office— convinced her uncle John Worsham was murdered and desperate for answers—Mary’s second assignment begins. 
As she investigates the curious circumstances surrounding John’s death, Mary soon finds herself entangled in a high-stakes family scandal, a series of interconnected murders, political corruption, untrustworthy sources, and an unexpected romance with a central member of New York's elite. 
Featuring historic figures like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and the Vanderbilt family, Brooklyn on Fire takes Mary on a wild journey from New York City to North Carolina to uncover not only the truth of one man's death, but to unravel the mystery in three murders – with links tied perilously close to her own personal world.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Narrator Cassandra Campbell imbues plucky Mary Handley, New York City's first female consulting detective, with a jaunty disposition and a curious mind. As Handley investigates the murder of John Worsham, one murder leads to two more that connect to the most elite members of society, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and the Vanderbilt family, to name a few. Campbell's musical voice reflects 1890s Brooklyn, that noisy, busy city full of men and women with diverse accents and personalities. Handley hobnobs with the rich and not so rich, uncovering secrets no matter the risk to herself. Campbell's smooth narration increases in intensity and emotion as the investigation takes Handley from Gotham City to North Carolina and a few places in between.

        Campbell is a seasoned narrator with a lovely, melodic voice. She has the vocal flexibility to handle a cast of male and female characters and their range of emotions with aplomb. Set in late 19th-century Brooklyn and New York City (which were then in a political fight over amalgamation), the novel meshes the period’s sexism, classism, homophobia, violence, and widespread government corruption into a complex plot. Based on a historical figure, detective Mary Handley, daughter of a butcher and sister of a cop, is smart, tender-hearted, strong-willed, and a judo expert. And she’s very much in love with Cornelius Vanderbilt’s younger brother George, who adores her. Campbell has fun with accent, pitch, and emphasis to make it clear who is speaking, who is serious, who is tongue-in-cheek, who is in physical pain, and who is sadly and madly in love. A Broadway paperback.
