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.
