Fans of Linda Stratmann’s earlier books in this series will not be disappointed. Death in Bayswater is full of unexpected twists, turns and a shocking resolution that you certainly won’t see coming. In some ways it’s a much darker read as you can’t help drawing comparisons with the Jack the Ripper murders of 1888. The killings are sudden, vicious and each victim has been disfigured, but the only tie between them is that they’re all respectable young women who walked into the path of a killer who seems able to confidently walk the streets undetected.
