I found this book, back when I read it years ago, to be quite enjoyable and it actually is what got me back into reading. I really enjoyed the chemistry and clean YA romance for the age I was, and the mystery was enthralling. I also loved how the author touched on sexism in such a vital era in the world and how that affected the protagonists development. However, I found the plot twist to be a bit out of left field and perhaps a reread would be beneficial, but the ending, imo, fell flat to me.

The book has images of various topics within the medical examination field, however none are graphic.

while the book was very thrilling and I enjoyed it, I feel like a lot of aspects were woven in and then just forgotten about/never explained fully? idk whether that will be picked up on in following books though.

I don't think it needed the lovestory, really, but I guess it can't be avoided

Despite how tricky the premise is, it is much more respectful than you think it would be. The romance is a bit trite, but it does become quite sweet over time.

Interesting adaptation about one of the most famous Serial Killers of all time with a strong female protagonist. What I liked most were the autopsies. I also liked the dialogues full of banter between Audrey Rose and Thomas. At times the story was a bit slow, but it still made me guess along with the protagonists. Unfortunately it was quite obvious who Jack the Ripper was very early on. All in all it was an interesting story and I’m looking forward to read the next book in the series.
