review 1: This book had so much potential but i found it fell short on both the story of Mrs.Goodwin herself and the writing - which i hate to say since i know how much heart and soul writers pour into their work -- it just fell flat a little for me. Mrs. Goodwin, buried in Green-Wood Cemetery was a fascinating woman that Ms. Mitchell barely focused on. The crime that got her involved was the main focus of the book (also very interesting, but not what i wanted to know about solely).
review 2: Interesting story about the first woman detective on the New York Police Department and how difficult it was to become that. It was a time of corruption on the force. Her husband had been a "roundsman" - I never was sure what that was. After he died, she got hired as a matron - esco... morerting female prisoners, etc. Until the day came when they needed a woman to go undercover. And she knew how to blend.It is pretty short and apparently some reviewers took exception to the shortness of it. less
