Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear

4.0

Super engaging story about Karen Memery, whose name is like memory only spelt with an e. Set in a parallel late 19th century Seattle, Karen is a prostitute with a heart of gold. It's the story a a Jack the Ripperesque killer, with elements of the Old West, and steampunk trappings. I really liked Karen and hope we'll get more of her story eventually. There is a second book [b:Stone Mad|34405622|Stone Mad (Karen Memory, #2)|Elizabeth Bear|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1506700334s/34405622.jpg|55508621] but at 192 pages it's more of a novella.
