Murder At The Foundling Hospital by Irina Shapiro
Synopsis:
Nurse Gemma Tate
is heartbroken when she hears that one of her young charges at the
Foundling Hospital has been killed. She knows that police inspector Sebastian Bell will
work tirelessly to uncover the truth, but, obstructed by the curt
matron, he’ll need her help navigating the cloistered world of the
orphanage.
The mystery thickens when Sebastian finds a small wooden doll clutched in the murdered girl’s hand and Gemma hears whispers of a shadowy romance. But that isn’t the darkest secret hidden behind the high hospital walls. As time runs down on the investigation, Gemma won’t give up. But could the shocking discovery she makes be her last?

Review:
Murder At The Foundling Hospital is the third
installment in the Tate and Bell Mystery series, and I highly recommend
to also read the previous books because are all masterfully written.
This book was a little hard to read, because the victim is a young girl, killed in the safest and only place she knew, the foundling hospital. The investigation is difficult and annerving because DI Bell and the nurse Tate aren't free to roam for the building and to follow their leads for the strict rules abiding at the hospital.
I like that Gemma and Sebastian feel like they have to protect each other. I wish their relationship becomes easier, but I still adore the small gestures of appreciation and support they exchange without anyone noticing.
Irina Shapiro is really good to highlight the difficulties of the Victorian age, and to portray these pathetic and miserable characters that live only for themselves without taking into consideration the consequences of their actions.
Recommended! Gripping storyline, captivating setting.
