London, 1878. One April morning, a small boat bearing a young woman’s corpse floats down the murky waters of the Thames. When the victim is identified as Rose Albert, daughter of a prominent judge, the Scotland Yard director gives the case to Michael Corravan, one of the only senior inspectors remaining after a corruption scandal the previous autumn left the division in ruins. Reluctantly, Corravan abandons his ongoing case, a search for the missing wife of a shipping magnate, handing it over to his young colleague, Mr. Stiles.

Story
Sir Carlton Morley is famously possessed of extraordinary will, singular focus, and a merciless sense of justice. As a man, he secured his fortune and his preeminence as Scotland Yard's ruthless chief inspector. As a decorated soldier, he was legend for his unflinching trigger finger, his precision in battle, and his imperturbable strength. But as a boy, he was someone else. A twin, a thief, and a murderer, until tragedy reshaped him. Now he stalks the night, in search of redemption and retribution, vowing to never give into temptation, as it's just another form of weakness.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Publisher's Summary
Dying is the only thing people do with any regularity, and Fiona makes her indecorous living cleaning up after the corpses are carted away. Her childhood best friend, Mary, was the last known victim of Jack the Ripper. It's been two years since Fiona scrubbed Mary's blood from the floorboards, and London is no longer buzzing about the Ripper, but Fiona hasn't forgotten.
And she hasn't stopped searching for Jack.
When she's called to a murder in the middle of the night, Fiona finds a victim mutilated in an eerily similar fashion to those of the Ripper, and only a few doors down from Mary's old home. The relentless, overbearing, and irritatingly handsome Inspector Grayson Croft warns her away from the case. She might have listened, if she hadn't found a clue in the blood. A clue that will lead her down a path from which there is no return. As a killer cuts a devastating swath through London, a letter written in blood arrives at her door, and it is only then that Fiona realizes just how perilous her endeavor is. For she has drawn the attention of an obsessive evil and is no longer the hunter, but the prey.
Contains mature themes.

Good for an escape but nothing extraordinary. Too many forced cultural cliches, that almost seem racist in nature is The Noble Savage, The Tragic and Wise Jewish, The Rabidly Catholic Irishman. I guessed the perpetrator a third of the way in.

Dark and atmospheric Victorian mystery
A dark, atmospheric Victorian murder mystery. Fiona is a great heroine, and Byrne brings her gritty world alive with her writing. The cast of interesting side characters/potential love interests for Fiona contribute to both the worldbuilding and the mystery. I really loved The Hammer in particular, as well as grumpy Grayson Croft. I did feel that there was a bit of fetishization with the repeated use of the word "exotic" that I hope will not continue into future books. The mystery itself was creepy and well-paced, but I did guess the murderer right from the beginning. Fiona and her interactions with the other characters are definitely the most gripping part of the book, and the part that left me eager for book two.

A book set in the past, not a historical novel.
You get the feeling the author of this book churns out quite a few a year. They would certainly have time because the haven’t even stopped to Google a few basic historical facts. The book is set after the Ripper murders so let’s say 1890s. One character insists on having her crinoline for decency’s sake. I don’t know about decency but it’s over a decade out of fashion. Later the heroine says her dad was in the Guardai-an org not founded until the 1920s and she drinks Israeli wine! It’s pitiful and lazy. I’m assuming the author is one of those Americans who goes on about being Irish because someone in her family came over 200 years ago. If she was Irish, she might not use phrases such as the heroine recognising the she ‘had her Irish up’ when angry. Totally American and pretty offensive. Anyway, it’s appalling.

loved the story
Loved every second of the story. Whereas normally I watch a bit of tv in the evenings I kept listening till late till I finished it. It was so tense and intriguing. This is not my usual genre but I live ak if Kerrigan Byrne's books so I thought I'd try it out and it didn't disappoint.
Unfortunately I can't say the same about the narrator. She's ok but I can't bear her voice for the Male characters. Her voice is weak and sounds shaky. I don't usually buy books narrated by her, only when they're ones I really really want to listen to.
Now on to the next one.

Fabulous Story
Wonderful characters set in the infamous Whitechapel. Fiona Mahoney is brash, brilliant, independent and Irish. The story has as many turns as the Thames and is entertaining and enthralling.
Justine Eyre’s narration is brilliant.
I am looking forward to next book.
