Stalking Jack the Ripper eBook Kerri Maniscalco James Patterson

This is an entertaining read. For YA fiction, it was actually tolerable based on an entertainment level. I am not a Jack The Ripper expert and I was interested in that aspect of this story. For example, I didn't know Jack sent handwritten notes to taunt the police. There is a picture of one of his letters written in his eerie style of handwriting which I found exceedingly creepy. I really enjoyed the photos that are sprinkled throughout this book. I questioned a time or two, Audrey Rose's attraction to blood and gore and her love for her uncle's macabre laboratory as opposed to a young Victorian lady's love for tea and talks of marriage, but the point is made clearly over and over again.

I did enjoy this jaunt to Victorian England on a young girl's quest to get into the mind of Jack The Ripper and solve the grisly murders. Being a woman far ahead of her time, Audrey felt great empathy for his victims and after her luck of being able to study the gruesome crime scenes and the unwitting victims she becomes very knowledgeable regarding this particular killer. This is a bit of a romp-it's pretty well done if you can suspend disbelief and just go with the flow. There are some good historical tidbits in this book: Leather Apron terrorizing London, a diseased riddled East End, and the Necropolis to name a few. I enjoyed these informational bits worked into the story.

I really liked the section: Historical Inaccuracies And Creative Liberties Taken By The Author. I liked how Maniscalco took events and created a story around them that is highly unlikely but also entertaining. This must have been a kick for her to write. It was like, throw most conventionalities out the window and just write a good tale of a wealthy and rebellious young Victorian woman who likes to partake in autopsies and throw her in with the century's most well known killer and add a smidge of Steampunk for good measure. This isn't great literature, but it is a fun ride.

Stalking Jack the Ripper eBook Kerri Maniscalco James Patterson Reviews

Stalking Jack the Ripper was everything and more. It's the type of book that gives a reader a funk that lasts for days. At least, it happened to me.

First off, I want to praise the author's style. It pulls you in, from the very first page. It's rich and detailed, but not cluttered. It shows the author has done research before- and during writing this story. Plus, I know a thing or two about certain things mentioned in the book because I happen to have a best friend that went to med school.

Moving along.

Secondly, the heroine. Audrey Rose is a girl after my own heart. She's smart and stubborn and strong. She doesn't care for society and its idea of how a 'proper lady' should behave or what she should do. She doesn't care about getting married or having babies. All she wants is to assists her uncle, who happens to be a doctor. She wants to learn from him, even when everything and everyone is against it and her.

I rarely come across such an awesome heroine, nowadays.

The book, the story, is darker. As I said, it's detailed so even the gruesome scenes are written down without being sugarcoated. After all, it tells a version of the story we've all heard and know of. Jack the Ripper. An unknown man that killed prostitutes.

I loved the story Ms. Maniscalco has woven around this dark part of history. I love how she made all the characters fit in, including our mysterious and yummy hero, Thomas. By the way, I loved their back-and-forth, it cracked me up.

I loved that this story has it all. It has feels. The climax broke my heart and, even though I've had a hunch about who Jack the Ripper could be, I kept hoping I was wrong.

This has made the top of my fave books list - of all time - and I cannot wait to get my hands on Hunting Prince Dracula, for more Audrey Rose & Thomas adventures!

Definite reread, definite 5+++ star-rating.
I actually found PhantomRin’s art work for this book before I had ever heard of the book, and it was so gorgeous that I had to see what was so awesome about it that it deserved such gorgeous fan art. Well, I looked it up and the blurb on the back was absolutely tantalizing. How could this girl be the girl that loved the Ripper? Well, this book kept me guessing as to the culprit until the grand finale and it was jaw-dropping!
First, let me tell you of the characters. Our MC is the lovely, intelligent, and ambitious Audrey Rose Wadsworth, lady of London’s high society. She’s sneakily studying with her uncle, Dr. Jonathan Wadsworth the practice of forensic science, dissections and all. This, of course, is not to the liking of her father Edmund or her brother Nathaniel who both think it’s improper for any lady, especially one of her status. Then there’s the clever, Holmesian assistant to Dr. Wadsworth, Thomas Cresswell. He’s a skilled assistant and is clearly interested in Audrey Rose for more than just her intelligence, though she doesn’t care to admit that she reciprocates. These are the main players in this literary game of CLUE, though we know where the body is and what weapon was likely used, it’s the WHO and the WHY that no one can figure out.
As an assistant to her uncle, Audrey Rose is drawn in to the Ripper, or Leather Apron, investigations in a very close-up way. She’s examining these poor, butchered women firsthand and everyone from the police to her family look at her askance, as if she herself is involved in something heinous for breaking society’s rules. Admittedly, her involvement probably wouldn’t have happened in this era, but it sure makes for a story that has such an element of empowerment.
