by Elizabeth Camden (Author)
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.
"History, mystery, and romance set against the backdrop of New York City at night--a must-read!"--Gabrielle Meyer, bestselling author of When the Day Comes and In This Moment
"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 The Metropolitan Affair

My thoughts: WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS is the latest book by one of the few favorite historical writers I read. Based on real life events this is a page turner as the reader tries to figure out who-dun-it. I liked the idea of Katherine's career and found Jonathon both likeable and unlikeable. He tended to go off randomly with his temoer and attitute. If you like historical romance you will love this book. Recommmended. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
