Killing Jane
Ratings1
Average rating5
A young woman is brutally murdered in Washington D.C., and the killer leaves behind a calling card connected to some of the most infamous murders in history. Rookie homicide investigator Erin Prince instinctively knows the moment she sees the mutilated body that it's only a matter of time before someone else dies. She and her partner, Todd Beckett, are on the trail of a madman, and a third body sends them in the direction they feared most: a serial killer is walking the streets of D.C. Erin must push past her mounting self-doubt in order to unravel a web of secrets filled with drugs, pornography, and a decades-old family skeleton before the next victim is sacrificed.

I just finished Killing Jane by @authorstacygreen for @katieandbreypa book tours and here is what I thought!
When a young woman is found half ripped apart in her home in DC, Inspector Erin Prince doesn't expect to find a calling card left behind.... One linked to the most chilling murders of all time. Jack the Ripper.
Erin is sure that this will be the first body of many if they don't catch them and fast.
The bodies start to stack up quickly and their biggest fear comes to life.... There is a serial killer on the loose.
Erin has her own loss to come to terms with as she hunts for a person that is getting more deadly by the minute and after the little girl calls, she knows she is running out of time.
The book started out a little slow for me but that is literally the only thing I can say against the book. If you have delicate sensibilities then you may want to avert your eyes from this grisly reimagining of Jack the Ripper. Stacy doesn't hold anything back and you feel like you can actually hear the blood dripping down the walls and smell the decay. Just ghastly and I loved every gruesome minute.
Loved the idea of the Jack the Ripper copycat not staying within the lines of the case. Clever really because it brought a whole fresh coat of blood to the book.
The ending was chef kiss mwah!! Did not see it coming. I did feel Erin was a little one dimension at times but I actually think it's her personality not the skills of the author. I felt thoroughly engaged and epically grossed out.
Excellent writing, I am thrilled I got the chance to read this book!
4.5 stars!! Rounded to 5
