As a last resort, Darcie Finch goes to a brothel for employment. But the madam turns Darcie out, telling her to see employment from someone who owes her a favor...Dr. Damien Cole. Strange things are happening at the Cole residence. Servants have disappeared. Unsavory characters visit at odd hours of the night. And the handsome doctor leaves his laboratory covered in blood. Now Damien has offered Darcie the chance to use her skills as an artist to work beside him. But the closer Darcie gets to Damien, the more she wonders if he is a charming healer...or a cold-blooded killer.

This is a gothic romance loosely based on the Jack the Ripper murders. I thought there was a little too much description and we were in the heroine's head too much, but I guess that is typical of gothics. I would have preferred more dialogue. But the book was an easy read and did hold my interest. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
