Stalking Jack the Ripper #1
"Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life.
Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world." - From Goodreads
Will you like it?
If you like murder, Victorian London, mysteries, mayhem, or horror, you will love this book. I listened to the audiobook version, and I loved the narrator's accent. She made the whole book come alive for me.
There was one part that mostly gave away who Jack was, so that wasn't as entertaining as I thought it was going to be. Also, the ending was not entirely realistic. I think Audrey would have been bound by society's rules for learning about the forensic sciences. I still really enjoyed this book, and I will add the rest of the series to my to-read shelf on Goodreads.
Disclosure: I borrowed the audiobook from my local library via Overdrive.
