See No Evil, My Pretty Lady

The name "Jack the Ripper" is well-known to inspire shivers down the spines of those familiar with the history of this merciless killer. In the 1880's, he terrorized women, mostly prostitutes, along the backstreets of London's East End. His identity was never discovered, and as one of the first serial killers, he carries an aura of both fascination and repugnance.

So what if you lived in Victorian London during the time of this madman? What if you were one of the women he attacked, yet you managed to escape? And what if you knew he needed to find you and silence you before you identified him?

New maid Dorcy Edwards spurns her wealthy employer's attempts to seduce her. When he becomes a victim of the person the newspapers call "Jack the Ripper", estranged son Gareth Davenport returns to London to handle his father's affairs. Dorcy puzzles over what the handsome, brooding heir might be hiding behind his eye patch and black leather gloves. As circumstances unfold to expose the killer's identity, Dorcy's plunged into a nightmare, convinced Gareth is none other than the infamous murderer. But is Dorcy's life what Gareth seeks? Or nothing more easily broken than her heart?

Here are some reviews about this story. The latest is from Linda Morelli, an author, editor, national and regional contest judge, and reviewer for MyShelf.com. Her last paragraph is awesome..."The author’s style is reminiscent of Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other great mystery writers. Like them, she keeps the suspense tight and continuous. With combined innocence and intrigue, the plot will interest adults and teenagers. See No Evil, My Pretty Lady is an exciting romance with a fast moving, mystery-based plot, and enough adventure to keep you turning the pages into the wee hours of the night." To read the whole review, go here...
