About this listen

1876, Victorian London. Minnie Ward, the feisty scriptwriter for the Variety Palace Music Hall, is devastated when her best friend is found brutally murdered. She enlists the help of private detective Albert Easterbrook to help her find justice, even though he already has his hands full trying to catch the notorious Hairpin Killer.

Together they navigate London, from its high-class clubs to its murky underbelly. But as the bodies pile up, Albert's burgeoning feelings for his amateur partner start to interfere...

Think Sarah Waters with a bit of humour does the Ripper. And a bit more to fill in the 15 words I have to write.

Brilliant narration and loved the story.

I wouldn’t have known this was a debut novel without the acknowledgments. It’s assured, has a good mix of grizzly and light moments and a romance that’s fairly low on the ick-scale. I look forward to more by this author.

Excellent

Very well performed and well told, characters entertainingly drawn and such a fascinating world to set a detective series- so rich with possibilities.

I am so glad I stumbled upon this series
