The year is 1880, the place San Francisco. Intelligent, outspoken Sarah Woolson is a young woman with a goal and the fortitude to achieve it. She has always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. The trouble is, everyone believes women belong in the home---that it is not only unnatural, but against God's will for them to seek a career.
When Sarah finagles an interview with one of the city's most prestigious law firms, no one thinks she has a prayer of being hired. Except Sarah. Using her brains and a little subterfuge, she not only manages to become the firm's newest (and only female) associate attorney, she also acquires her first client---a lovely young society matron suspected of brutally stabbing to death her wealthy but abusive husband. Sarah is sure of her client's innocence, but the revelation of the woman's secret lover may make that innocence impossible to prove.
When four more victims fall prey to the killer's knife, Sarah fears she has bitten off more than she can chew. Bucking her boorish employer and the judicial system, Sarah finds herself embroiled in shady legal maneuvers, a daring Chinatown raid, and a secret and very scandalous sex club in this irresistible blend of history, romance, and murder.

Female Attorney Wows Early 20th century San Francisco
By P. Ebel
Murder on Nob Hill (Sarah Woolson Mysteries)
Shirley Tallman did a great job of introducing Sarah Woolson. Sarah is a new attorney, and immediately gets invoved in a mystery. You better believe that the fact that Sarah is a FEMALE attorney in early 20th century San Francisco causes astonishment, consternation, and many outcries.
I do love reading historical mysteries and I have not had as much fun reading about San Francisco since Dianne Day's Fremont Jones series. I like Miss Woolson, and her family and friends, more with each paragraph. I have the first three books of the series and can hardly wait for the fourth book to be published.
(Also, Shirley Tallman has an interesting website.)

Delightful characters, well written historical cozy
By tammay
I have not been reading cozies for long, but I was attracted to this series because I'm writing a historical cozy series set in the San Francisco Bay Area around the turn-of-the-century and wanted to read some cozies that deal with same area and a similar time frame. I found the first of this series to be an absolute delight.
I loved the main character, who is a true 19th century strong and professional woman. Some may find her unrealistic, given the limitations that were imposed upon women during that time, but I've done a lot of reading and research plus a master's degree that focused on women and literature of this time period and Sarah Woolson is a totally believable character (alibi, not a common one, but still believable). The Woolson family were nicely portrayed and the story was fast-moving and compelling. Unlike many cozies I've read, the mystery was very central here and everything that happened in the book happened for a reason - no random happenings as I've seen in some other cozies that seem to just be there to fill up space. The only exception for me was the scene where Sarah asks to be part of a rescue mission for a young Chinese girl from slavery. The subsequent action-packed scene fit into the book but I would have liked her reason for requesting to join the rescue (which would have been highly unusual in those days) more believable.
One thing that made this book such a delight for me was that it was WELL WRITTEN. I come from a literature background and there is nothing that spoils the enjoyment of a book in an genre more for me than a poorly written or, at best, mediocre writing style. Sadly, I have read quite a few cozies so far that fit this description. So it was refreshing to read a book that clearly showed that the writer took pains to learn the basic writing do's and don'ts and made it easy to focus on the story and the characters rather than be constantly irked by a poor writing style.
The only reason why I give this book 4 rather than 5 stars is because I was a bit disappointed in the character of Robert Campbell. I felt he was a bit of a caricature of the enraged male lawyer and his constant dimwittedness as to the connection between information about the investigation that were obvious within itself without Sarah pointing them out to him got to be a little unbelievable. Since this is clearly a main character in the series, it would have been great to see his character a bit more three-dimensional.
I will definitely be reading the other books in the series!

An engaging historical mystery story with a real spitfire of a heroine!
By J. P.
I'm glad I happened upon this book in the library, as it ended up being an enjoyable read and a good mystery. The heroine, Sarah Woolson, is a real spitfire and very opinionated; while sometimes annoying, she is for the most part a great lead character - and at times very funny. Her family is very interesting and they are a great addition to the cast of characters. I also loved Robert Campbell, a fellow associate attorney at their firm, a big and loud Scot alway objecting to Sarah's ideas and plans, but then getting involved despite himself. Their bickering and squabbling is often amusing and I'm personally hoping that their relationship develops into a more, umm ... harmonious one, shall we say ;-).
Tallman's writing is very simple and her storytelling straightforward, not that either of these things are bad. One criticism I do have is that sometimes it seemed like she needed a better editor, as you have the same word that would appear twice in one sentence or in two consecutive sentences. May seem like a picky objection, but for me it was noticeable and bothersome.
The mystery itself was very well-done and definitely keeps the reader engaged. You start to develop a theory, which gains shape as additional things are revealed. It is a mystery, though - not blatantly obvious - and has some great twists and turns. Another great aspect of this book is that the historical setting feels very authentic. I look forward to reading the other books in the series!
