A small town, Rainier that will always be remembered as where the Ripper murdered three people, seventeen years ago and Gemma Guillory, is still running the tea shop still remembers what happened, but there is a tour operator who wants to bring it all back running tours, not everyone in the town is happy and then another murder, the same as the first murder but who because the Ripper is in jail.
Gemma is married to police officer Hugh, he was there seventeen years ago, and now they have sixteen year old daughter Violet, when the tour operator is found dead in the fountain the night of the meeting, the residents are shocked and the tensions run high throughout the town, who is the copycat killer? There are a lot of questions to be asked but will they get the answers.
Gemma is doing her best to uncover the truth and then Lane Holland a prisoner in jail with the Rainier Ripper is called in to help to help uncover the identity of one of the murder victims, there are so many questions and finger pointing.
This story has a great story line filled with twists, secrets and cover-ups, it did take me while at the start to get to know the characters and put them all into place for me. Gemma was determined to get to the bottom of it all, but what she finds is not what she expected. A good story overall and one that I enjoyed, I did enjoy Lane Hollands part in it and look forward to the next one.
