I read this novel maybe 10 years ago. It was set in a large city (I think Chicago or New York) in the late 1800s/ early 1900s and it was this huge mystery involving the lady of the house and her child who was born, but I think either died or was kidnapped. It was really interesting because the way the story unfolded, everyone in the story got drawn in. The maid and the midwife had something to do with the mystery...
Sorry to be so vague! Any helpful answers would be appreciated!
Or, could you recommend a mystery set in a historical setting (preferably the Victorian Era?) Thanks!!

I don't know what book you're talking about, but I did do a search for Victorian Mysteries on Amazon.com and bunch popped up. I would search for Historical Mysteries as well. You could also look into historical fiction novels such as The Other Boleyn Girl (which will become a movie within the next 2 years I believe) and possibly find what you're looking for.

I learn the whole lot and I can revel in all of it to some degree. I am now not notably a "thriller" fan, despite the fact that I did/do revel in a few tv suggests that had been form of crime-drama-thriller themed. I have a tendency to uncover books of the equal form are more commonly lower than my minimal requirements for "nice of writing", however each person has distinct tastes, and in a pinch I will learn anything is to be had. I am now not certain I realise what you imply. Do I suppose a few mysteries would not have a rationalization? No. I suppose that there's consistently a purpose for any found final result. I don't suppose it consistently feasible to grasp that purpose, and I am happy with announcing "I do not know" in the ones circumstances. That having been mentioned; I suppose it's valued at making the hassle to *check out* to realise. Certainly I have consistently determined the hassle to be profitable of itself.

Im so sorry I don't know what book you are talking about but it seems a little like a movie that I saw a few years ago called "The Others" Nicole Kidman was in it. Very good Movie. If you have not seen it I recommend it. A good book that I am reading now I also recommend called "Rose Madder" by Stephen King. You may also want to try any book written by Louisa May Alcott.
