A Treacherous Trade (The Fiona Mahoney Mysteries, #2)
Kerrigan Byrne
**This Kindle edition is canceled. The new edition can be found here. “Forgive me…for I have sinned.” And nothing interrupts a good confession like a murder. 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 of prostitutes in the 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.

DNFed at 51% on reread. I'm so disappointed, this isn't hitting the way I expected it to on reread, it feels so slow and boring. I keep comparing it to the Veronica Speedwell series, and this doesn't stack up unfortunately. Also, I've been told what happens in book 3 with the romance aspect, and it's not what I wanted so I don't see the point in continuing my reread. Maybe I'll come back to this series when book 4 is released, but probably not.
