I'm so obsessed with Cressworth that I went out and bought the next three before I even finished this one. Now I'm 100 pages in to the dracula one and I literally finished 1 this morning. Be careful starting this series.

There were many aspects of this novel that really appealed to me. I love time period novels and especially enjoyed the female character fighting the gender norms of her time. The mystery was well rounded, as were the characters. I was able to figure it out a bit before the end was revealed, but it was a fun mystery all the same. Will recommend.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did, but Audrey Rose became a compelling character as did her pal Thomas. There really wasn't much in the way of dramatic irony because I only knew what AR knew and when she expected someone of being Jack the Ripper I did as well.
I listened to this on audiobook most of the time and read the ebook version for a little bit of it. I really enjoyed the narrator and how she was able to do several voices to make the characters sound unique. I was so dissapointed when I had been listening to the audiobook and it had just been revealed the true identity of Jack when my loan of the audiobook expired. I was 80% done!!!! It was dreadful and I couldn't check it out again because there were three people ahead of me.
So I finished reading it August 31st while recovering from a bad dinner(ouch stomach ache).
