The Black Widow’s Prey by N. S. Wikarski might be Book Three of the Gilded Age Chicago Mystery series, but it can certainly be read as a stand-alone story. I have not yet read the first two books in the series, but I enjoyed this one immensely.

Consulting detectives Evangeline LeClair and Freddie Simpson face their most challenging case yet when a priceless Egyptian artifact is stolen from a Chicago museum.
