About this listen

Fiona Mahoney stands in the ashes of her hopes, facing her tempting adversary, Inspector Grayson Croft. Her sins are about to spill from her lips, when he says the one thing that could dispel all thoughts of revelation or redemption.

Someone is leaving the corpses on London's cobbled streets, and a name is being whispered in the fearful shadows. The name, against which Fiona would sell her very soul for vengeance: Jack the Ripper.

Old enemies and new friends join Fiona, as she chases a relentless evil through the streets of Victorian London. She’ll pull upon every contact in her arsenal, including Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, Inspector Aberline, “The Hammer” (a charismatic gangster), “The Blade” (an enigmatic assassin), and, of course, Jack.

Kerrigan Byrne can do no wrong in my opinion. This is the only series of hers I have to left to read. Definitely a departure from earlier works. I have always read her for the stellar characters, plot, and romance (nsfw). This is a novel that includes a touch of clean romance. It has shades of reverse harem and a strong feminist, as well as, inclusive story. Historical characters like Oscar Wilde make appearances. You have to suspend disbelief and sometimes it’s silly when a character has foresight because the author has hindsight, not because the character is particularly progressive. But that’s all part of the fun with pretend historical novels. I loved it. The male narrator does ham it up quite a bit but it somehow works in the Victorian music hall type of hyperbole. (Dear Kerrigan, might you consider publishing a smutty RH version of this series? I never thought I’d say such a thing but you write your male characters so dishy that choosing just one is impossible. Thank you.)

Kerrigan Byrne always delivers

Deliciously dark and riveting. Fiona has another mystery to solve as more prostitutes are being murdered and she is called upon to help solve the crime. This involves her taking up a position in a brothel and this immediately stirs up Inspector Grayson Croft's protective instincts in his own gruff way. Fiona also has attracted the attention of two other dangerous and wickedly sexy men and these scenes are quite tense. I couldn't help but think go on Fiona...what's the harm in assuaging your curiosity here before ultimately ending up with Grayson as I assume she will.
The mystery in this instalment is a real page-turner. I had my heart in my mouth as I followed Fiona through her investigations through the dark and seedy areas of London's underworld.
A brilliant read. I can't wait for the next one in the series.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy provided by the publisher.

Excellent

Sorry but the previous book was far better - really enjoyed the first one. The narrator just ruined this for me too dramatic it was tiring to listen too, the previous book’s narrator was far more suited.

Disappointing
