Stalking Jack the Ripper

4.5 Stars

I went into this book knowing that it was based off of the real life murderer Jack the Ripper. I don't know how accurate to the actual Jack the Ripper Case this book is because I personally know little to nothing about it. That being said though what I read was very believable. I had heard such great things about this book and I can't believe I waited so long to finally pick it up. I buddy read this with a friend of mine and we were constantly talking about who we thought was the murder. We both had similar suspects but she was leaning toward one more than I was and she ended up being right. If you don't want to pretty much be told who you should suspect then don't read the back of the book. I wish I wouldn't have because it tells you what kind of people to suspect. With that being said I don't think it took away from the suspense of the book or anything I just wish I could have had the opportunity to come to that conclusion on my own. I absolutely adored Audrey Rose and Thomas and I especially loved the banter between them. There was one chapter in this book where a Medium was introduced and I just found that weird and unnecessary. It to me was a cop out way for characters to come across pertinent information regarding a case. Overall I thought this was an amazing debut and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series which I hear is even better.

Reread - I still found myself hooked the second time around and I still loved it. I will say Audrey Rose annoyed me more this time around.
