The Werewolf of Whitechapel by Suzannah Rowntree
Murder, monsters…and a disreputable lady’s-maid on a mission.

A killer prowls the grimy streets of Whitechapel. Scotland Yard seems determined to turn a blind eye. But with one look at her best friend's corpse, Liz Sharp knows the truth: the killer is a werewolf, one of the monsters that rules Europe.

If she doesn't hold the monster accountable, no one else will. But Liz is a werewolf victim herself, her scars condemning her as the sort of female who'd sell her blood for easy money. Even if she finds out who’s responsible for Sal’s death, who would believe her?

Probably not the emotionally repressed princess whom Liz serves as a lady's-maid/bodyguard. And definitely not the irritatingly personable policeman dogging her steps from the slums of Whitechapel to the palaces of St James.

As corpses mount up, Liz discovers that no one is precisely who she thought: not Sal, not herself, and certainly not the werewolf. The one thing she knows for sure? The truth will cost her everything. And Liz is hardly in a position to pay.

Luckily she has a few tricks hidden in the pockets of her trusty bloomers…

A witty historical fantasy adventure, perfect for fans of the Parasol Protectorate or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! Follow the intrepid Miss Sharp into an 1890’s Europe ruled by werewolves, vampires, and sirens…
