The thing I love about a long running mystery series is how invested I get into the story arcs that's not about the mystery. Case in point, Murder on Lenox Hill. This book starts with Sarah Brandt being asked to examine a developmentally disabled teenage girl who's pregnant, but no one knows who the father is, not even the young lady. As Sarah investigates, she's drawn to the Church of the Good Shepherd where the murder finally happens quite far into the story. (The murder is pretty easy to figure out.) All that being said, I was much more interested in Sarah and Malloy's interactions, Aggie and Maeve, Brian's progress (he's going to school now), the cold case of Dr. Tom Brandt's murder, and even Mrs. Malloy. I'll check in on them all in the next book.
