About this listen
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.

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.

Absolutely Awful
If I could have given negative stars to this dreadful story and atrocious narration I would have done so. The sloppy story is filled with numerous errors of historical fact that could easily have been resolved with an afternoon’s research online. The writer obviously didn’t care. These careless errors should have been picked up by an editor. The narrator’s accents are so bad as to almost be offensive to Irish people and sound nothing like anyone I grew up with in Limerick. The accents hover somewhere between Northern Ireland, Scotland and some 1930s ‘Begosh & Begorrah’ idea of Ireland. Oscar Wilde is widely reported to have had an upper class English accent. The mispronounced names and words were extremely irritating.

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.
