Killing Jane

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
