Marry in haste....

Murder at leisure?

London, 1888: Susannah rushes into marriage to a young and wealthy surgeon. After a passionate honeymoon, she returns home with her new husband wrapped around her little finger. But then everything changes.

Thomas' behaviour becomes increasingly volatile and violent. He stays out all night, returning home bloodied and full of secrets. The gentle caresses she enjoyed on her wedding night are now just a honeyed memory.

When the first woman is murdered in Whitechapel, Susannah's interest is piqued. But as she follows the reports of the ongoing hunt for the killer, her mind takes her down the darkest path imaginable. Every time Thomas stays out late, another victim is found dead.

Is it coincidence? Or is her husband the man they call Jack the Ripper?

This might be the best book I’ve ever listened to! Twisty story, compelling characters, and great narration.

Outstanding!

I was blown away to learn this is the author’s first book. It’s a great mystery with all too human characters. So many twists. It might offend some if you are sensitive. I can’t say what might give offense without giving too much away. Well done Clare Whitfield. I look forward to your next novel.

Not what you think...

Although I thought it began a bit slowly (it didn't, I was just impatient) I just got sucked into the story. I read all Victorian noir/ Jack the Ripper fiction I can and this one kept me enthralled! Can not believe this is a first novel. Really enjoyed the story and the narrator was great! Wish I could find more books like this! What fun!

Wow! Great first novel! Really enjoyed it!
