Stalking Jack the Ripper

In Stalking Jack the Ripper begleitet man die junge Audrey Rose Wadsworth auf ihrer Mission, sich in einer von Männern beherrschten Zeit durchzusetzen und ihre Berufsträume als Pathologin zu verfolgen, während gleichzeitig der berüchtigte Serienmörder Jack the Ripper auf Londons Straßen sein Unwesen treibt. Schnell wird Audrey Rose in die Jagd nach der Identität des Killers verwickelt. Die geschichtlichen Fakten und medizinische Details fügen sich perfekt in die Storyline ein und bieten so eine unübertroffene Leseerfahrung.

Ein Packendes „whodunnit“ in den Straßen Londons 1888. Der großartige Schreibstil, das schaurig atmosphärische Setting und die brillanten Charaktere, die man nur ins Herz schließen kann, machen den Auftakt der Serie zu einem meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher!

As a Lady of a wealthy family, Audrey Rose shouldn't attend her famous uncle's pathology classes. But as a self aware, modern and liberal thinking young woman, she usually sneaks to the lectures anyway. When the city is shaken by a series of horrible murders and the police asks her uncle for advice, Audrey Rose soon finds herself on the hunt for maybe the most infamous murderer of all time "Jack the Ripper". Kerri Maniscalco's writing style has both, the cold thrill that leaves you with goose bumps all over your body and a wonderfully British sarcasm that had me laughing out loud a couple of times. Audrey Rose is a fantastic heroine in a patriarchal world that wants to keep her down. But she just won't let them!

I enjoyed this way more, than I initially anticipated! Obviously I like myself a good whodunnit mystery, especially when it takes place in the Victorian era, but I am not always the biggest fan of YA reads. The book is about seventeen year old Audrey, living a secret life in her uncle's laboratory to study the practice of forensic medicine. (which is sooo against society's expactations as we all know) Well, then there is the tiny problem of a serial killer on the loose, so naturally they (there's a love interest too, who would have thought that) start to investigate. At the end, I obviously channeled my inner Sherlock Holmes and solved the case myself... Perfect for fans of Anatomy!

A book about the mystery of Jack the Ripper in London and a young woman who wants to find him. This woman is learning about forensics at her uncles house. A big no-go during the time. A beautiful book for fans from Anatomy.
