Publisher's Synopsis
A madman masquerading as a gentleman surgeon has murdered one woman and fully intends to kill again.
Charlotte Harkness, an undertaker's daughter from the edges of Whitechapel, knows all about death- including what comes after it. Sometimes, the dead have restless voices. Lavinia Everly's ghost will not be silent until her murderer is caught. Lavinia's well-to-do brother, Dr. James Everly, will not rest either.
The unlikely partners have forged a plan to pose as a courting couple so that they can investigate the murder and find "Jack" before he claims another victim. Falling in love was never part of their agreement.
As clues fall into place and danger escalates, Charlotte and James find the depths of their devotion tested by barriers in this world and the next. Will they be able to lay their ghosts to rest, or will they soon be among them forever?
The Undertaker's Daughter: Darkly Devoted is the third and final novel in a serialized Victorian-era mystery and romance by M. Culler.
