To Find A Penny | Lillian Maddison, Sarah Jane Rees

2 posts | 1 read

London, 1888. Ruby Myers won’t let anyone step on her. After fighting her way to the top of a thriving underworld, the bisexual gangster protects her brothel workers at any cost. So the twenty-three-year-old madam sees red when her female lover is found dead with her throat slashed.
As the local constabulary flounders to unearth a concrete lead, Ruby learns the murderer hasn’t stopped with one corpse and his choice of victims all link back to her. And even after partnering with the police to dig up clues, the bold young woman fears she’ll only discover the culprit’s identity when he comes for her…
As secrets and scandals multiply, can Ruby avoid a grisly fate?
To Find a Penny is a dark and gritty historical crime story. If you like strong-willed women, fast-paced mysteries, and disturbing twists, then you’ll adore Lillian Maddison’s trip into the dangerous past.

so-so

The story is loosely based on the Jack the Ripper crimes that haunted Whitechapel in London towards the end of the 19th century. Apparently this is the first of an intended series of books featuring the two main characters. While I enjoy Victorian Police Procedural fiction, I do like to have some excitement in the storyline which I found lacking in this novel. I also found the actual story to be slow and overly descriptive and not to my liking.

Looking for a new author to read in the Historical Fiction section I came across 'To Find A Penny' The storyline appears slightly unusual. Lets hope I like it.
