The Ripper Deception by Jacqueline Beard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1891 Ipswich. After attending an inquest private investigator Harpham is asked by his friend Inspector Fernlagh to accompany him to view the body of a dead female, Miss Ruth Moss. Meanwhile Harpham's partner Violet Smith is in Chelmondiston, investigating strange ghostly goingons in a vicarage. There she meets members of the Society for Psychical Reasearch, there on the same mission. Do these two events have any connection to the death of Edmund Gurney in Brighton in 1888.
An enjoyable historical mystery, with its likeable characters.
