dark mysterious

• Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

"There's nothing better than a little danger dashed with some romance."

Audrey Rose's cousin knew exactly what she was talking about. I could not put this book down!

Following Audrey Rose as she searches for answers behind the Ripper's gruesome murders, it was easy for me to sink into the mystery and danger as new evidence came to light. Although I wasn't expecting a love interest to be introduced so early in the plot, I loved the dynamic between our main character and Thomas Cresswell, who slightly reminded me of Sherlock from the popular BBC series. 

Overall, Stalking Jack the Ripper is perfect for fans of historical mystery and strong female protagonists. I can't wait to see what's in store in book 2!

Had a very strong Sherlock and Watson feel with Audrey Rose being Watson in this instance.
