Scandal on Rincon Hill

A body is found just blocks from attorney Sarah Woolson's peaceful Rincon Hill home. Sarah is soon on the case, but nineteenth-century San Francisco is rapidly thrown into a state of panic as a gruesome crime spree begins to take hold of the city. Engaged in a life or death struggle to find the murderer, Sarah becomes embroiled in the erotic escapades of the town's infamous high-end brothels, a proper Anglican church, Darwin's shocking theory of evolution, and a vicious killer who will stop at nothing to achieve a scandalous objective.

"A solid read…Convincing period detail supports an engaging lead who's a more plausible character than, say, Rhys Bowen's Molly Murphy."
"Tallman's series features Sarah Woolson, a nineteenth-century San Francisco attorney who defends the downtrodden and oppressed when no one else will take their cases. In this fourth installment, the primary story concerns several inexplicable murders for which Sarah's clients, Chinese immigrants, are being blamed. Carrington MacDuffie's portrayal of Sarah is commanding yet personable. Her interpretation of the other characters is well defined and distinct…MacDuffie is particularly adept at age-appropriate portrayals. Listeners should enjoy this entertaining whodunit."
"Sarah's fourth neatly marries mystery, romance, and historic San Francisco in an enjoyable tale of the stubbornly independent career woman."
"Bringing Victorian San Francisco to colorful life, Tallman offers an entertaining mystery…Will appeal to fans of Anne Perry and Rhys Bowen."
