from the cover:

"Two beautiful women have been found strangled in the studio of a well-known London artist. To investigator William Monk and his wife, Hester, the murders are a nightmare. One of the victim's is the wife of Hester's cherished colleague, surgeon Dr. Kristian Beck, a Viennese emigre who becomes the prime suspect. With an intensity born of desperation, the Monks seek evidence that will save Dr. Beck from the hangman. From London's sinister slums to the crowded coffeehouses of Vienna, where embers of the revolution still burn in the hearts of freedom-loving men and women, Hester and Monk seek to penetrate not only the mystery of Elissa Beck's death but the riddle of her life."

It's hard to know what to say once I get well into a series, unless there's something that particularly catches my attention. Nothing in this book did but it was another enjoyable mystery read.
