The Murdering Ghost
(2019)(The third book in the Scientific Investigations of Marianne Starr series)
A novel by Issy Brooke
The urchins of Victorian London say that a ghost is murdering young women ...
Maybe it wouldn't matter on the chaotic and dingy streets - but these victims are respectable ladies, and when the Chief Inspector asks questions, he's transferred out of the way.
Marianne Starr is asking questions, too. One of the victims was her friend. Asking the wrong questions puts her in the firing line and suddenly she's on the run, hiding out in the very worst rookeries, and the only way to return to her normal life is to expose the truth behind the murdering ghost.
But the truth behind the murderer also reveals some dangerous facts about her dead friend, too, and calls into question everything she thought she knew about women, society and justice.
There is one thing more powerful than justice. And that's money. Marianne has neither. How can she avenge her friend's death - and with her surprising past revealed, does she even want to?
Genre: Historical Mystery
