A Deadly Deception by Tessa Harris

3.0

Constance Piper is a flower seller in Whitechapel.  It is eight months after the death of Mary Kelly and the body of Alice McKenzie has just been found.  Residents of Whitechapel worry that Jack the Ripper is responsible.  Constance and her recently deceased friend, Emily Tindall, join forces with police detective Thaddeus Hawkins to solve the murder.  

Tessa Harris' Dr. Thomas Silkstone series is one of my favorites, so when I saw A Deadly Deception on NetGalley, I jumped at the chance to read it.  I am sorry to say that I just didn't care for this story.  The writing was good, but the supernatural twist was just not my cup of tea.  I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Dr. Thomas Silkstone series, but will pass on the Constance Piper books.
