London, 1889—Murder, mystery, and two people in a most unlikely partnership.

She's an unconventional lady who has traveled the world, practices the art of self-defense most excellently, and has an interesting tattoo in—ahem—a very unusual place.

He's a former member of the Metropolitan Police, now a private investigator, who grew up on the poverty-ridden streets of Edinburgh and has worked the dangerous back alleys of London's notorious East End.

A vicious murder brings them together in a race against time that takes them from the sordid back streets of London into the elite private clubs of the powerful and rich. They must find the killer before he strikes again and prevent a deadly scheme. A scandalous affair, deceptions, and secrets will challenge what they know and what they believe.

Come along as the lady and the detective join forces in an amazing time of new inventions, startling discoveries, and unexpected revelations. A young woman who doesn't rely on anyone is forced to trust the irascible Scot who is as tough as they come and just might learn a thing or two from her...if they don't end up dead!

This title was in the Audible Plus Catalogue and the blurb read like it would be in the style of Wrexford and Sloane or Tabitha and Wolf, but it isn’t!

When compared to those series’ it just doesn’t measure up! The narration didn’t seem suitable and the story seemed to drag but, to be honest, I didn’t really give it a chance - it didn’t engross, enthral or intrigue me from the outset, as the aforementioned series’ did and therefore I just gave up!

Couldn’t Finish It!

the Americanism that are slipped in
but it's quite amusing in places so made good light listening

a good plot

Quite entertaining but the Americanisms in a book set in Victorian England grate - sidewalk instead of pavement, ash cans instead of dust bins !

Well read

Thought the story ran along quite nicely, characters were well thought out and narrator was a pleasant listen too

Great to have story set on previous times

The blurb made the book sound like an inserting read but sadly it was meandering and confusing. It's clearly written by an American and includes americanisms and errors. The book repeatedly refers to Metropolitan Police Officers as MPs! This is particularly confusing as there is a character in the book who is the Home Secretary - an actual MP. it comes to an ending with no real explanation of the point of the story.

Promised more than it delivered
