Miss Fiona Mahoney is a crime scene cleaning specialist. She decides to defy Jack the Ripper’s written ultimatum by taking a lover. However, a demimonde’s murder disrupts Fiona’s planned interlude. When her childhood friend becomes the prime suspect, she is determined to prove his innocence. The case takes Fiona into dark and dangerous territory. What secrets will she unearth? Can Fiona find the real murderer before her friend hangs? And does Jack the Ripper have a hand in this?

Sadly, Fiona did not choose who I had hoped. Yeah, I am a little disappointed, but I am also okay with her choice. I almost thought Fiona would pick my least favorite one. I never saw his appeal. When I am not enamored with a certain pairing, it dims my enjoyment of the story. However, I am glad I persevered.

The scene between Fiona and ‘her choice’ is nicely done. Kerrigan Byrne does not go into explicit, steamy detail as in her other novels. The tone and pacing did not call for it. Which I am totally fine with.

I cannot wait for the next installment.
