Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco




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.

The story's shocking twists and turns, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this dazzling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.

It now didn't seem to bother her I'd found a murdered man, so long as I created pretty violets and swirling vines to make up for breaking social taboos. 


Ashlea's Thoughts: I haven't started this book yet, so finding a teaser was hard when I didn't wan to find a spoiler for myself. I did find this one and it represents the book great. I don't have any idea what it means but it catches my eye, makes my mind real, and gives an ominous feal to the read. Can't wait to start this.
