A wonderful conclusion to a series that I adore. A must read for anybody that often watches true crime documentaries or loves a story that weaves details in and out of a glorious 1,500 pages.

The plot went out the window with this one. I'll forever be a Thomas Cresswell stan but that's it. I probably keep my paperback copies of these for niece to read when she gets old enough to read them, because there not bad but not the best historical mystery I've ever read.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Stalking Jack the Ripper series and following the characters of Audrey Ross and Thomas. Firstly I should say it was these books that reignited my love of murder mystery, having a darker tone than the cozy murder mysteries I grew up with. I adore the characters and am very sad to have to say goodbye to them now. This book is a good read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good serial killer murder mystery.

I won't lie at the beginning I was confused and slightly annoyed at the backtracking of Nathaniel as Jack the Ripper, but as the story developed I found that it started to make so much more sense and felt planned out. My biggest critique of the series as a whole is I wish there were more consistent clues in this regard but honestly, this is a minor complaint.


I love this book and this series alot.

Definitely my least favourite of the series. While I'm happy for the ending, it almost felt unnecessary in some ways for this book to exist. I get why it did, but it just didn't work well for me. Also I wanted far more of the grandmother?! She was awesome. She should have shown up in the first books.

“Trust me, I don’t want to be selfless. Not with you. But I’ll always stand aside so you have the space to make your own choices.”
👏feminist👏iCoNs👏Audrey👏Rose👏and👏Thomas👏
And murder, mystery and romance indeed! Slow burn but oh so very worth it.
A beautiful end full of torment and pain and love. All the things I long for in my reading ❤️
