Stalking Jack the Ripper

4.5/5 stars

O H M Y G O S H!!! this book left me shooked and needing more like yesterday.

I loved this book so much. It was beautifully written and the audio book is amazing!!! I totally recommend y'all to read this if you like light thrillers, mysteries, and historical fictions. I'm personally not a fan of “horror” themed books or movies but this was not bad. The suspense aspects of it actually made me want to keep reading it. I will tell you this I CALLED IT!!! I knew who was Jack the Ripper before it was revealed. But it was still a great reveal though. Being Kerri Maniscalco's debut novel it was phenomenal!!

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!

This book was amazing because It had the bad ass heroine but she was bad ass because she was smart and took risks. Audrey Rose loves forensic science even though she lives in the Victorian era and women are supposed to love fashion, beauty, and tea. Although Audrey likes those things too her love for science is first. She is an amazing character that is what the female bad ass trope should be... some books wish they could relate.

When I first saw the synopsis I thought it was going to be filled with romance. It had its little bits of romance here and there but it wasn't the main focus. Thomas was so cute, he was a bit of a smart ass. Thomas and Audrey's relationship was one of the best things in this book. It wasn't the annoying insta-love, Its developed slowly and it was soooo cute!!

I personally knew it was going to be Nathaniel it was obvious to me because of the way his character developed. It was very minor but I'm the type of person that focuses on details. The second they mentioned that Nathaniel started looking a bit more rugged was a huge clue. Tbh his reveal would've been more shocking if his motive for killing them was also because they were women his father slept with too like that would've shooked me 1000 times more.

Moral of the story is that I loved this book and I totally recommend it!!
