I loved this book. I'm going to rave about it today. I'm a true crime fanatic, and the Jack the Ripper case has always intrigued me. I have all the Ripper case files, notes, crime scene pictures, newspaper clippings, everything. I even did a presentation on him (or her, I kinda like that theory) in high school. This book appealed to my inner Sherlock Holmes. I love a good mystery, and the dark twist at the end gave me so much satisfaction (not in a weird way).
Maniscalco's writing style is amazing. It pulls you right in and it's very easy to read. The feminist in me also wanted to yell most of the time, this book gave me so many emotions. Audrey Rose is not a normal 1800's woman. She's fascinated by science and medicine, but her father doesn't approve at first. The book is macabre and gruesome and morbidly fascinating. I would give anything to be Audrey Rose, solving crimes with the handsome Mr Cresswell. The vivid and gruesome descriptions only add to the realism of it all, making me feel as if I'm right there with Wadsworth and Cresswell. I would read this book over and over, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one.
