The story begins with a shocking early double murder in Victorian London which introduces us to Gemma Tate, a young woman who served as a nurse in the Crimean War, and Inspector Sebastian Bell, a policeman.
As more details emerge about the murdered young woman and the suffering she endured before she died it is clear that the police are hunting seriously evil and depraved individuals.
Both Sebastian and Gemma have endured personal losses, tragedy and grief. Gemma was touched by her experiences as a wartime nurse and Sebastian lost his wife and unborn child in tragic circumstances causing him to turn to opium to numb his pain.
The chance to solve a very high-profile murder and help Gemma with solving the mystery of her brother's death becomes a timely distraction and the beginning of a new friendship.
This is a fast-paced story with twists I didn't see coming and has a satisfying conclusion where justice is meted out.
Gemma and Sebastian's friendship is subtle and low-key with hints of something more towards the end. I'm looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops in the next book which is set to be released in June 2024.
