Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders
Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders | Kate Griffin
Limehouse, 1880: Dancing girls are going missing from 'Paradise' - the criminal manor with ruthless efficiency by the ferocious Lady Ginger. Seventeen-year-old music hall seamstress Kitty Peck finds herself reluctantly drawn into a web of blackmail, depravity and murder when The Lady devises a singular scheme to discover the truth. But as Kitty's scandalous and terrifying act becomes the talk of London, she finds herself facing someone even more deadly and horrifying than The Lady. Bold, impetuous and blessed with more brains than she cares to admit, it soon becomes apparent that it's up to the unlikely team of Kitty and her stagehand friend, Lucca, to unravel the truth and ensure that more girls do not meet with a similar fate. But are Kitty's courage and common sense and Lucca's book learning a match for the monster in the shadows? Their investigations take them from the gin-fuelled halls and doss houses of the East End to the champagne-fuelled galleries of the West End. Take nothing at face value: Kitty is about to step out on a path of discovery that changes everything . . .

This historical mystery may have been a little far-fetched at times but it was fun and I liked the sensible, working-class, and relatable Kitty Peck. An undemanding and enjoyable read with three sequels all lined up and ready to go! #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Everyday could give such change as each of its end is a nee beginning.

It was a good ride!!! Excited for the second book.

Recently finished this book by Kate Griffin and I have to say it's a short and entertaining read for those who like crime mystery, cloaked with the same vibe as Jack The Ripper stories. It's set in the early 1800's, focusing on Kitty Peck, a performer in the Halls who is forced to track a serial killer with bizarre motives. Love the pacing of the book as it drops plot twists at the right moment & gives you a realistic view of Victorian England.

when your book drops a plot bomb but you can't read it because you're stuck at work for 10 hours....

I needed something light to read... I keep imagining Louise Brooks as the main character (even though the character's description is nothing like her).
