Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was really intrigued by the premise of the novel. A suffragette doctor trying to find a Jack the Reaper copycat in New Zealand? What a wonderfully creative idea that I was eager to dive into. Unfortunately the pacing of the novel is kind of slow and the characters are exhausting. The main character, Anna Cassidy, and her love interest, Police Inspector Andrew Kelly, have so much angst. They've already known each other for some time so their "relationship" has already been established; the reader comes into the novel with each character loving the other, but for reasons unknown they can't be together. Immediately, I'm not a big fan of being told two people are in love, I want to see it develop over the course of the book. But I continued because I was interested in how everything was going to turn out, but I can't continue anymore. The amount of angst and drama between these two is exhausting. Every SINGLE chapter ends with one of the character's hearts breaking because they can't be with each other. I can't do that cycle over and over and over again. There's no development in either of them or their relationship or even why they can't be together and I'm 50% in. The idea had so much promise for me, but I could not deal with the delivery. Any time I'm frequently taking breaks from a book just because I'm agitated by the angst repetitiveness is never a good sign for me.
