Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco

5.0

I’ve just finished this book and holy batman...I’m speechless right now.
I’ve heard so many good things about this book and was a little nervous about reading it incase it didn’t live up to the hype for me. I need not have been nervous at all.

I’ve always been fascinated with watching tv shows about Jack The Ripper and many detective programmes, so when I saw this book on bookstagram I had to have it, plus the cover is stunning, what more could a bookworm want?!

This book is incredible, the plot although based on the real events and fictional ending was amazing, it was gripping and always had you second guessing who you thought Jack really was. I completely guessed wrong, I’ll admit. But towards the end I kind of figured it out but I didn’t say anything due to buddy reading this with my best friend.

I’m in love with Thomas Cresswell and Audrey Rose - as individuals and as a potential couple. They work so well together as characters and as partners in solving crimes. I also love the slow burn romance I can see happening, I’m glad they aren’t instantly falling in love with each other and head over heels, I think it was done perfectly and matched the way the book was going.

I loved the amount of detail, although I wouldn’t recommend eating while reading, but everything was just perfect and I love the way the plot went and how it finished.

I’m looking forward to starting Hunting Prince Dracula immediately, and can’t wait to see more of Thomas and Audrey 😍

One of my favourite reads this year for sure, I wish I can give it more than 5⭐️
