_________________________
Madeleine Barquist, police veterinarian and daughter of Jack the Ripper, is dragged by her detectivist partner Astraia Holmes into solving the death of popular suffragist leader Lady Deborah Peacham, killed by a hatpin plunged into her heart during an assault on Parliament. While investigating Lady Deborah’s mysterious death, the detectivists become aware of a more vicious murderer lurking in the shadows of society, their series of crimes hidden and unnoticed.
Almost immediately, the world-famous leaders of London’s temperance and suffrage communities realize they have secrets to hide and reputations to protect. They grow nervous, threatened by the direction of Maddie’s and Astraia’s investigation, and soon learn that a hatpin is not the only weapon available to desperate and lethal Victorians.

This was a strong sequel in the Detectivists series, it had what I enjoyed about the first book and from the genre. The characters had that feel that I was looking for and was engaged with what was going on in this world. The concept was everything that I wanted and it was a suspenseful read, it was a fantastic concept for a daughter of Jack the Ripper and uses that to its advantage. I hope there is more in this series and glad it was everything that I expected.
