Felicity Carrol and the Murderous Menace is the second book in the Felicity Carrol Mystery series. Felicity has worked with Inspector Davies in the past and is surprised that she hasn’t heard from in a while. When she gets a message from his mother asking her to come immediately to there flat. She finds Davies seriously ill, having spent excessive hours in pursuit of Jack the Ripper. As she is about to leave, Davies hands Felicity an article from the New York Times, that a colleague had given him, describing deaths much like those attributed to Jack The Ripper. These new deaths are in the small mining town of Placer, Montana. She wishes that she and Davies could go there to pursue the killer, but she knows that Davies is in no condition to make the trip. Instead, Felicity and her former nanny, Helen are heading for the wild west of Placer, Montana. Upon arriving in Placer, one of the first persons she meets is Sheriff Pike. Felicity has chosen as her cover-story, that she is a writer and is there to gather information on the deaths for her book. Shortly after arriving another prostitute is killed and she can convince Pike to let her view the crime-scene and inspect the body. With her medical knowledge she can convince Pike that she can be a valuable assistant to his investigations. Before long another two mutilated bodies are added to the investigation. Before long she begins to wonder if she will ever be able to find the killer. The story is well-written and very interesting. The book contains a cast of well-developed and interesting characters. I feel that the author may have taken some liberties with time-period, but at the same time helped with the telling of the story. I will be looking forward to the next book in this exciting historical mystery. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

I just didn't take to the character of Felicity. I felt she had no likeable characteristics and just too unbelievable. That combines with the style of writing made it difficult to finish the book. Though I expect many people will love the fast-paced story.
