While the City Sleeps (Women of Midtown)

Amid the hushed city, two hearts must navigate danger and deception, bound by a love that outshines the stars.

Katherine Schneider's life as a dentist in 1913 New York is upended when a patient reveals details of a deadly plot while under the influence of laughing gas. As she is plunged into danger, she seeks help from the dashing Lieutenant Jonathan Birch, a police officer she has long admired from afar.

Jonathan has harbored powerful feelings toward Katherine for years but never acted on them, knowing his dark history is something she could never abide. Now, with her safety on the line, he works alongside her through the nights as they unravel the criminal conspiracy that threatens her . . . even as he keeps his deepest secrets hidden at all costs.

"Elizabeth Camden brings the bustling metropolis to living color like no one else. . . . A novel that will keep readers up late into the night."--Jocelyn Green, Christy Award-winning author of

This was good, just not something I normally would read and it dragged on a little. There was some humor, lots of romance, no sex....lol. Again, outside my realm of reading. There was lots of mystery and it was very neat to read about how things were back in the 1900's. It did drag in spots and had to skip through but all in all, glad I read.
