In 1911, England hovers on the cusp of change. A new king waits to be crowned. Women and the poor are fighting for their rights. Political turmoil rages throughout Europe. And a promising young artist lies dead in the heart of London.
Just another tragic death in a city filled with untimely demises. Or so thinks Hargreaves, the gifted, but troubled, Detective Inspector called in to investigate. Haunted by the tragedy of his own past, he is unprepared for the onslaught of long-buried memories and powerful emotions the case brings. Making his task even more difficult is the troubling presence of Daisy Cartwright, a wealthy widow closely connected to the victim, and a woman he feels inexplicably drawn to.
Untangling the tightly woven threads connecting the victim and the suspects, Hargreaves soon reaches a conclusion, only to have that theory shattered by the revelation that everything he has been led to believe is a lie. Groping through the silence and secrets, he uncovers a cold-blooded killer, and a connection to his own past that leaves him reeling.

My Review:
Well, this is one of those cases where there are definitely a lot of twists. I was right along with Inspector Hargreaves thinking I had the answers and then everything fell apart. How frustrating, yet suspenseful at the same time!
I liked how on the edge of my seat this story kept me. Not from a horror or scared aspect, but from the aspect of wanting to know who the killer was and what was coming next.
I am definitely interested in reading more about these characters in the future!
