Two Series of Murders Seem Mysteriously Connected
Step into True Colors -- a series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime
Could a series of murders in London in 1889 be related to unsolved murders in Austin, Texas, 1884? Queen Victoria wants to know and asks her granddaughter—who left the queen’s good graces by going off to America to become a Pinkerton agent—to quietly look for any connection. The catch is the queen doesn’t want her to do it alone. Alice Anne must find her former Pinkerton agent partner—now an attorney in Austin—and enlist him in the hunt. As the pair get closer to finding their suspect, their lives become endangered, but they refuse to be intimidated. Can this case be solved?

My Rating: 3 Stars
This was an interesting read. Obviously I have heard of Jack The Ripper but I was unfamiliar with the murders that took place a few years before in Austin Texas. Bringing those cases together made for a fun read. Annie and Isaiah were great characters and I really enjoyed the character of Hattie. The story was good and kept me interested. It's quick and easy, perfect for a weekend read.
I received this book through NetGalley and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
