Publisher's summary

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.

5 stars

This picks up right where book 1 left off. The mystery of Jack the Ripper continuing, still its definitely engaging. Detective Croft is starting to show some feelings for Fiona and its just beautiful to watch. Fiona starts to actually be in the investigations to find some answers and I can't wait to see what is next!

I really enjoyed this audiobook in duet style with narrators Sarah Mollo-Christensen and John Hartley. They did an amazing job with their characters.

Loved!

I loved this second installment that continued the story of Fiona. I lay awake for hours unable to stop and go to sleep. It’s a fantastic mystery and I can’t wait for the next one.

Fantastic Historical Mystery

Excellent follow up to the first Fiona Mahoney mystery. Try author is a master storyteller and weaves a compelling mystery. Her characters are filled with realism and depth. The dual narration added something extra to the reading. Loved it and can’t wait for the next book.

The narrators were distracting

I liked the 1st book and narrator MUCH better. The love triangle with the new narrator was very distracting to the overall story it seemed poorly edited in at times. Also the male narrator’s voices were too similar. The twists and turns in the story weren’t as good as the 1st book but I had to finish the story.

Different Voice Actor from Book 1 did a disservice to the actors and the story

Let me start by saying I loved the book. Sarah Mollo-Christensen and John Hartley did a wonderful job. That said, it took me several chapters to acquaint myself with Sarah’s voice as Fiona’s voice. In book one, The Business of Blood, Justine Eyre was the voice of Fiona and she used an Irish accent. I don’t know if Sarah is American, but there is no Irish lilt to her voice and after listening to Justine do a 10 star performance as Fiona and the entire cast, I struggled to adapt. The switch was unfair to Ms. Molly-Christensen who did a really good job, but did not use the accent like Ms. Eyre. The publisher should stick to one voice actor for a leading role. Other characters may change, although not ideal, but the protagonist should not.

Prefer original narrator

Excellent as the first but wish the original narrator was still continuing the story… felt the new duo lacked her original gusto and storytelling abilities.

There were some serious issues

The audio was not as good, there were many times when I couldn’t make out the man’s words. The change in female reader is disappointing. But at all times I loved the story.

Fiona Mahoney Mysteries- Outstanding!

Enjoyed the vast collection of characters in this series- beautifully devised! Although the narrator is different in this 2nd series- I enjoyed Sarah Molly- Christensen. Additionally, John Hartley’s deep, velvety voice *insert heart* is perfect for Inspector Grayson Croft!

Surprisingly decent Jack the Ripper fiction

I am really enjoying this series. The narrator for both the first and second books were different but both were pleasant to listen to. I like the fact that Fiona seems to have these dangerous men falling all over themselves to protect her on her quest to find The Ripper. So far so good, can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent story, prefer narrator of Book 1

Amazing story! Detailed murder scenes with prostitution, so definitely not for children to hear or those that don't do well with descriptive bloody death. I felt it had more suspense than the first book and it was a hard story to stop listening to. I'm a little upset I have to wait 11 months to find out "who" in the hotel room! Please release it sooner!! :)
I preferred the narrator/narration from the first book. The first couple chapters of this book were hard to listen to and it felt like I was listening to "Alexa" read a story. I got used to it and it seemed to get better. The biggest issue was the male voice was very hard for me to hear! I was constantly turning the volume up and down.
