This is the second book in Robyn DeHart's Dangerous Liaisons series and continues the story of the search for Jack the Ripper. I read the first book and loved it but I think I like this book even more. Anna comes from a progressive family and is studying to be a doctor. Even though her mother wants her to marry she does not hold her back. I really liked that she is her own person and strong. Drew was a drunk and accused of the murders in the first book and was recruited by Scotland Yard to help investigate the murders since Jack the Ripper used him as a patsy. Drew straightens out his life and discovers that he enjoys being an inspector. Anna and Drew work together to try and figure out who the murderer is and to bring him to justice. In my review of "The Secrets of Mia Danvers" I said that there was a creepy factor with Jack the Ripper's POV. The creepiness continues in this book. And to add to it there is an "apprentice".I loved the respect and interaction of Anna and Drew working together. Their romance slowly develops and is well worth the read. I read this in two sittings and would have loved to have the story continue. The side story of Anna's mother is sweet. I look forward to more books in this series. Simon???
