Summary

Looking for a better life, prostitute Nora Simms arrives in Gold Rush San Francisco with a plan for success: to strike it rich by trading on her good looks. But when a string of murders claims several of her fellow women of ill fame, Nora grows uneasy with how closely linked all of the victims are to her. She must distinguish friend from foe in a race to discover the identity of the killer.

Starts well

I quite enjoyed this book. At first the historical background was intriguing and I liked that the heroine was selfish and grasping and not some angel. To be honest though, it was somewhat too long. It just ran out of steam after a couple of red herrings and the villain could be spotted from a mile away. Still reasonably entertaining.
