London, July 1889. Eight months have passed since the horrific murder of Mary Jane Kelly. The residents of Whitechapel have begun breathing easy again - daring to leave windows open and walk about at twilight. But when old Alice McKenzie is found dead, throat slashed from ear to ear, the whispers begin once more: Jack the Ripper is back.

Constance Piper, a flower seller with a psychic gift, was a friend to both women. With the supernatural help of her late mentor, Miss Emily Tindall, and her more grounded ally, police detective Thaddeus Hawkins, she uncovers links between the murders and a Fenian gang. The Fenians, committed to violence to further their goal of an independent Ireland, are also implicated in a vicious attack in which the Countess of Kildane's uncle was killed. Could the Whitechapel murders be a ruse to make the British police look helpless?

Soon, Constance is called upon for help. But there are spies everywhere in the city, and a bomb plot intended to incur devastating carnage. And as Constance is fast discovering, the greatest evil may not lurk in the grimy alleys of the East End, but in a conspiracy that runs from Whitechapel to the highest office in the land . . .

The way the narrator hangs on the last word of every sentence whens she’s being Constance
Makes it a tough listen .

Hard listen

I have listened to part 1 and 3 of this series and found the storyline a very good one. After listening to part 1 I was eager to see how it progressed, as the 2 narrators brought the characters to life But! Then I listened to part 3 (pt2 not available)

The narration for Constance was terrible, flat and uninteresting. I read all the other reviews before reading and I must admit I felt a little sorry for the narrator but I have to say they were right. The only reason why I kept on listening was the storyline and the fact that I had a rest bite from the droning on of the Constance narration but if another instalment comes out I will be looking at who the narrators are before purchasing. The 3 stars are there solely for the narration of Emily.

For the want of good narration the story was lost…

I'm so sorry for this but I really enjoyed the first book and hurried to listen to this but the person reading the book made it impossible to even get through the first chapter. I could not cope with the way she spoke with a strange forced voice.

let down by the person reading!

It took several attempts for me to get through this audiobook. I found the endless mispronounced words very irritating - Fenian should be pronounced like Feenian or Phoebe and has nothing to do with the fens, wreck used for wreak, Holyhead should be pronounced like Hollyhead ….does anyone edit these recordings? As for the disrespect towards the last victim of Jack the Ripper, don’t get me started. Terrible narration and a very disappointing storyline.

Terrible narration and disrespectful storyline

I know historical fiction often uses real people but taking a murder victim and those around her and creating a whole other plot is tacky and offensive. No respect here at all.

It’s a good job you can’t libel the dead
