"Audrey Rose Wadsworth prefers breeches to ball gowns, autopsies to afternoon tea, and scalpels to knitting needles. Though her father, Lord Edmund, has forbidden it, Audrey covertly studies forensic medicine...while "the Ripper" remains two steps ahead, lurking where Audrey least expects....Maniscalco's portrayal of scientific invention in a newly industrial era will serve as a fine first foray into Victorian classics."—Booklist

"*A marvelous yet somewhat gruesome mystery...The Ripper scenes are visceral, and the plot dovetails with history perfectly. An unexpected twist makes the ending worth the wait. A must-have."—School Library Journal, starred review

"Audrey is a young woman eager to use her brains and willing to flaunt society's rules....This mystery pays homage to classics like Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [and] will satisfy those readers looking for historical mystery, a witty heroine, and a little romance."—School Library Connection

"This is a book that will keep you up at night and haunt you during the day."—Beth Revis, author of the New York Times bestselling series Across the Universe

"With ample knowledge of Ripper lore, Maniscalco creates a steadfast and headstrong heroine who is as comfortable in gloves of blood as she is in watered silk.

Excellent suspense for teens!

I listened to this with my 13 year old daughter who loves mystery and suspense. It was perfect! The story was so thrilling and entertaining and didn't need to rely on bass language and gratuitous sexual scenes. We lived it!

Very enjoyable and very well narrated!

Loved this because the narrator was wonderful. She breathed life into the main character and made me care about what happened next!

The ending! Oh, all of it was quite interesting!

I know it was graphic, but how the author like wrote it all, she just wrote it. Didn’t mind or worry about, which I thought like oh thank you and like wow I didn’t want to hear that! Haha! But it was good!
But if you do decide to listen to it, or read it, just steel yourself! It is good! But steel yourself.

Read the rest of the series!! Soo good!

A great book!

I loved this! Audrey Rose is such an inspiration! She was so smart and confident. Thomas was a sweetheart! The narration was great! The accents were done well. There was only one thing I didn’t like. The end was anticlimactic. It was emotional and interesting, but not that exciting. However, I will be reading the next one!

Great Entertainment

Loved the story line. it had great twists and turns. I couldn't put it down!
