About this listen

London, 1888: Jack the Ripper begins his reign of terror. Miss Sarah Bain, a photographer, supplements her meager income by taking illicit boudoir photographs of the town's local ladies of the night. But when two of her models are found gruesomely murdered within weeks of one another, Sarah begins to suspect it's more than mere coincidence. Teamed with a motley crew of friends - including a street urchin, a gay aristocrat, a Jewish butcher and his wife, and a beautiful young actress - Sarah delves into the crime of the century. But just as she starts unlocking the Ripper's secrets, she catches the attention of the local police, who believe she knows more than she's revealing, and the Ripper himself, who's bent on silencing her for good.

This was my first LJR book and having struggled to get through it , I don't think there will be a second one. This book is boring and the main protagonist is aggravating and gets more annoying as the book progresses. I stopped caring about what would happen halfway through the book and would have been happy if the Ripper murdered Sarah just so that her self absorbed irritating presence would be gone. The narrator does a decent job but that tremble in her voice when she is narrating Sarah especially made me dislike Sarah even more but only until that dislike blossomed into indifference.

Such a disappointing read !
