While everyone tries not to think about those horrible murders, Agatha Turner dreams of unmasking the mysterious killer. Her biggest dream is to become a detective, as she reads in the various books in the family bookstore. However, while this is not possible, she is content to help her parents in the family business. To make her dream come true, she will have the help of several people, especially her best friend, Benjamin. However, not everything is rosy, and Agatha will have to face Benjamin's illness and an arranged marriage that is totally unwanted for her. Will Agatha be able to unravel the murders that haunt London? Will she allow her parents to find a husband of their own, or will she go against the grain of 19th century London society to follow her heart?
