I am reviewing a copy of The Black Midnight through Barbour Books and Netgalley:
In Austin Texas, three years before Jack the Ripper began his murderous spree on the streets of London, women were dying in their beds as The Midnight Assassin terrorized the streets of Austin Texas. The first murdered occurred New Years Eve 1884. Three years later with suspicion falling on Scotland Yard, and her Majesty’s family Queen Victoria asks her Great Granddaughter Alice Anne von Wettin, a former Pinkerton agent who worked the unsolved Austin case, to discreetly look into the London Case.
Isaiah Joplin may be enticed out of his comfortable life as an Austin lawyer., with the prospect of a second chance to work with Annie. If Isaiah’s theories are right, they’ll find The Midnight Assassin and in doing so they will find Jack the Ripper. But if they are wrong he and Annie are going to find themselves in a bigger mess, than the one he found himself in when Annie left behind when she departed Austin under cover of darkness three years prior.
Will the two be able to find the truth of who is behind the murders before they are drawn into the killer’s deadly game? The story transitions from Austin Texas, to London England the story navigates the fine line between truth and fiction as Annie and Isaiah ultimately find the hunters have become the hunted.
The Black Midnight is a powerful story, that mixes fact with fiction in a smooth and thoughtful way.
I give The Black Midnight five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
