Product Description
Toronto, February 1895. When the body of a young woman is found naked and frozen in a quiet laneway, Acting Detective William Murdoch, driven by pity for the young girl, soon discovers that many of those connected with the girl's life have secrets to hide. Was her death an attempt to cover up a scandal in one of the city's influential families?

Excellent. So much better than the TV series. Jennings gives a real feel of the period and the gritty underbelly of 19th century Toronto. I shall certainly be reading the rest of the series.

I was in need of a good book - I've just finished the Twilight saga and the Hunger Games series and found them OK, but not filling enough or complex. My friend only reads chick-lit - which I hate - and couldn't give me any good suggestions so I decided to go looking for myself.
"Good book" is a severe understatement. The plots are amazingly well-crafted and sustaining - I found enthralled and loved the twisted, unexpected ending. I will definitely read more of the author's work. I then found the TV series which I immediately started watching - they're both perfect and are the best I've read and watched in a long time.
