It's the year 1872 and the headstrong Amelia Abbot is being pressured to act like a proper lady, find a husband, and accept her unfair and boring fate of settling down to a life of repetition and housework. Amelia, however, has other plans. When a mysterious killer begins murdering people all throughout London, Amelia finds herself wrapped up in the mystery and sees her chance to prove all those around her wrong by solving the crimes that have even the best of the city's police department stumped. However, the deeper Amelia becomes involved, it becomes more and more apparent to her that nothing is as it seems and she must choose carefully who she places her trust in. With the help of a young police detective with whom she instantly clashes with, she must unravel the truth before time runs out and it is too late.

In 1888, a series of murders creates an atmosphere of panic in London. But not everyone feels the same: Miss Holy Gray has intelligence, heritage, beauty, and above all, curiosity. As the death toll in Whitechapel rises, Holy's interest in the tragic crimes grows, and with the help of Count Henry Gray, her twin brother and secret lover, the girl begins to visit the crime scenes to paint the mutilated figures of the women who perished under the blade of the mysterious killer. Meanwhile, news of Henry's impending and unexpected marriage puts the twins' relationship to the test -- and Holy feels pressure to find a suitor for herself. Her fate thus crosses that of Dr. Jack Fraser, and the attraction between the two is immediate and intoxicating. But as the couple's relationship deepens, Miss Gray must confront Jack's darkest nature while dealing with her brother's jealousy, possessiveness, and secrets, as well as the unwelcome presence of her future sister-in-law, Cassandra. Driven by her passions, Holy embarks on an irreversible journey among assassins, nobles, doctors, and evildoers, each at the mercy of their own perverse psyches and unique morals, to discover not only where her heart lies, but also what her true nature is, and how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves, while fulfilling her most disturbing and intimate desires. #JackTheRipper #1888 #London #CriminalRomance #Thriller

The Spiritualist's Dilemma

12 partes Concluida

Maya wants to become a detective, but there is a problem...She is a woman and this is 1878 Dr. Chinew's first night in his new house is disturbed by a break-in. The intruder steals nothing but leaves behind a message - Death Comes to All. Maya maintains she is not crazy, only different. Henry Camleman, the chief of Bombay Detective Agency, disagrees. He cannot think of any other reason why a (as far as he knew) reputable 21 year old woman would want to become a detective in his agency. Solving crimes in Cardim, a city teeming with crime and criminals, is fraught with danger and involves dealing with the kind of people he wouldn't imagine a woman mingling with in a thousand years. To humor the stubborn woman, however, he gives her a fairly harmless domestic case. A celebrated spiritualist claims that there are spirits in his house and Camleman wants Maya to prove otherwise. He hopes the case would keep Maya indulged in a puzzle of ghosts and spirits while keeping her safe from the grime of actual crimes. Little does Camleman know the true extent of the affair. As Maya delves deeper into the mystery, it takes her little time to uncover a web of theft, deceit, betrayal and murder which would test the skills and perseverance of the amateur detective to the fore. Will she pass the first exam of her professional career?
