Jack the Ripper

The Past Lives Chronicles #2

by Terry Cloutier

London, 1888—Time travelers Malcolm Foster and Claire Blackwood find themselves thrust into the middle of The Autumn of Terror, as Jack the Ripper stalks the streets of London. Heading the hunt for the elusive killer is Chief Inspector Frederick Abberline, Malcolm’s new host, while Claire finds herself in the body of a beautiful prostitute named Mary Jane Kelly.

Unaware that her latest past life is fated to die beneath The Ripper’s blade, Claire is determined to change the future and regain what she’s lost, while Malcolm is left with a hard choice—tell Claire what he knows, or make sure history follows its natural course—regardless of the cost.

But when Malcolm makes a horrible mistake and changes history himself, he sends the timeline spiraling out of control, with the world’s most renowned serial killer now setting his sights on Inspector Abberline. Only by uniting can Claire and Malcolm hope to repair the damage done before it’s too late as they race to not only unmask a killer, but save Claire from a date with destiny as well.

But Jack the Ripper has other ideas, and he has no plans on going down quietly...

Merrie

Wonderful! I absolutely devoured this book in two days! I was not a fan of the first in this series as I mentioned in my review of it. I think now I was just not a fan of that particular timeline but I am a HUGE fan of the author. Thank you Terry Coultier for a excellent read! I’m ready for more now since I’ve already read the Wolf series and enjoyed that so much!

Another wonderful book

This author does such an amazing job with history. All of his books are deeply researched and that researched turns into a wonderful story. I recommend both series and I can't wait to read the 3rd book in the past live series I just hope he writes it quickly.

Another great tale

There were so many twists and turns in this novel. So much to stimulate the brain. I look forward to seeing where this series is going too.
The possibilities are endless.
