Eine Frau die Leichen aufschneidet im Jahre 1888
Vielleicht historisch inkorrekt, dafür aber wundervoll inhaltlich gestaltet. Auch die Bilder und Zeichnungen sind sehr schön und veranschauenlichen die Handlung. Die Geschichte ist super spannend und ich kann immer noch nicht fassen wer Jack the Ripper ist, die Überraschung war für mich riesig. Auch wurde mit Audrey Rose eine starke Hauptperson gefunden und das gefällt mir besonders gut. Sie ekelt sich nicht, sie schneidet! Einfach herrlich, eine starke Frau die ihren eigenen Weg sucht und geht. Thomas ist auch ein sehr spezieller Charakter. Viele halten ihn vielleicht für seltsam mit seiner Art wie eine Maschine zu sein, ich finde ihn super. Er ist mir wirklich sympathisch. Genauso seltsam und unbegabt im Kontakt mit anderen Menschen wie ich. Unter all dem steckt aber trotzdem ein Mensch mit Gefühlen, der nur nicht weiß, wie er damit umgehen soll. Ich hatte nur mit dem Anfang große Schwierigkeiten, ich fand einfach keinen Draht zum Buch. Erst dachte ich es wäre schlecht und hätte es fast aufgegeben, aber dann kam ich in die Handlung rein und konnte nicht mehr aufhören mit lesen. Es ist einfach ein tolles Buch!

A Riveting Victorian Thriller — a strong female character and a gloomy atmosphere!
A Riveting Victorian Thriller! I recently completed reading Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco, and I have to admit that it's an intriguing and exciting book that had me gripped from start to finish. It's definitely an exciting and fun novel, even though I didn't quite get to the point where I could have given it a flawless 5-star review. Stalking Jack the Ripper ♦ Kerri Maniscalco Opinion Readers are masterfully transported to the gloomy and unsettling atmosphere of Victorian-era London by Kerri Maniscalco. It’s clear that the author done her research on the location and era from the vivid descriptions and meticulous attention to historical detail. The story is made even more suspenseful by the disturbing and depressing backdrop of the Whitechapel murders. It’s always encouraging to witness a strong, independent female heroine like our protagonist Audrey Rose Wadsworth defy the social mores of her day. Her forensic scientific passion and unwavering commitment are admirable, and it’s easy to support her on her quest to solve the horrifying Jack the Ripper murders. One of the book’s highlights is the relationship Audrey Rose has with her mysterious and funny colleague in crime solving, Thomas Cresswell. The plot gains depth from their teasing and developing connection, which offers both romantic and humorous components. There are enough twists and turns in the well-paced plot to keep readers interested. But there were times when I wanted the mystery itself to be a little bit more intricate. The resolution could have been more complex and unexpected, even though the ending was rewarding. Conclusion In closing, Stalking Jack the Ripper is a captivating historical thriller including a compelling romance subplot, a strong female lead, and a gorgeously atmospheric setting. A must-read for enthusiasts of historical fiction and exciting mysteries, it just missed my perfect 5-star rating due to some predictability in the mystery. I’m excited to see where Audrey Rose and Thomas’s travels will take them in the next installment in the series!

Love it
I heard nothing but great things about this book and I am glad to have picked it up. It's extraordinary. I haven't read many YA mystery/thrillers because I'm not a big fan of this genre, so I was a bit sceptical about this book but it did not disappoint. My gosh, some parts were so disgusting, gruesome but also fascinating. Some descriptions were so graphic, that I had to put the book down. I'm so weak. I loved the female main character, Audrey Rose. She is such an amazing and inspiring character. She's a badass feminist, half indian, pretty, fierce and simply awesome. And our male main character, Thomas Cresswell. I love that boy so much. I am so excited to pick up the second book!

Schule
Ich habe ein Englisch Buch lesen müssen für die Schule und das hier von meiner Schwester ausgeborgt. Ohne große Erwartung habe ich begonnen es zu lesen, die guten ersten 100-150 Seiten sind nicht gerade unterhaltsam, aber danach kommt langsam die Spannung zum Vorschein. Wenn man geduldig warten kann und groteske Sachen gerne hat, kann ich dieses Buch nur weiterempfehlen. Da ich die beiden Aspekte jedoch nicht habe, war es anstrengend dieses Buch fertig zu lesen. Zum Glück habe ich wenigstens eine gute Note bekommen, da hat es sich schon fast gelohnt es zu lesen. Viel Spaß beim lesen dieses Buches oder bei einem anderen ^^..

Recensione a cura del blog atavolacoilibri.com
Nella Londra vittoriana dove il sesso debole ha il ruolo di ornamento, frivola compagnia e tanto gossip, la sua propensione all’arte forense è un’attitudine del tutto inappropriata, da mantenere segreta. Soprattutto se si è figlia di uno dei Lord più influenti della città e si indossa la gonna. Una mente eccelsa e calcolatrice però difficilmente si tiene in gabbia, e Audrey Rose odia le sbarre. All’insaputa di un padre più protettivo del dovuto, la ragazza diletta la sua passione nel laboratorio medico dello zio, dottore forense, principale investigatore sulle vittime di Jack lo squartatore. Su quel tavolo sterile, Audrey guarda le vite di giovani ragazze strappate via dalla furia assassina e combatte i suoi istinti di libertà contraddetti di un animo gentile e devoto alla famiglia. A tenerla costantemente sul chi vive, c’è l’assistente Thomas, affascinante studente di poche ma taglienti parole. Un occhio attento al dettaglio, in grado di dedure anche il meno plausibile, la ragazza ne sarà attratta ed infastidita allo stesso tempo. E noi ne saremo divertiti come non mai. Anche se la nebbia londinese non piace a nessuno, lasciarsi ammaliare da Audrey Rose e Thomas è abbastanza facile, per non dire naturale. Battute taglienti, dialoghi ferrati, un’ironia che è il cavallo di battaglia, faranno cornice ad una storia in cui poliziesco e thriller si mescolano in una miscela adrenalinica. I vicoli di East End rispecchiano la struttura del libro, dove ogni pagina nasconde qualche piccolo indizio al grande mistero. I personaggi poi, sono anche loro tutto un mistero. Thomas è l’irresistibilità in persona: silenzioso quanto basta, giusto il tempo di irritare la protagonista e poi scomparire, lasciando lei e noi senza parole. Della sua storia si sa poco quanto niente, quanto basta per sperare di conoscerlo più a fondo nel libro successivo. Audrey invece, è un libro aperto. Combatte per i suoi diritti, non riesce ad abbassarsi ai livelli di una società retrograda, di cui denuncia proprio la sua arretratezza. Allo stesso tempo però, desidera ardentemente essere accettata per quello che realmente è, e che la rende unica. Ha le sue idee ed è pervasa dal desiderio di urlarle ai quattro venti, di viverle senza alcun segreto. È tuttavia combattuta dalle conseguenze che queste potrebbero avere non tanto sulla sua immagine, quanto su quella del fratello e del padre. I suoi monologhi sono di una dolcezza smisurata. Le cupe atmosfere di Londra; gli assassini efferati del famoso Jake; protagonisti divertenti e sensibili; ambientazioni storiche. Insomma, non si hanno scuse per non iniziare Stalking Jack the Ripper, e non si hanno motivi per non amarlo.

Love this book, its intriguing murder mystery with Humor
Stalking Jack the Ripper the book is a fiction tale, semi using the case of Jack the Ripper, London’s most famous Serial killer.The two main characters in this book is one Audrey Rose Wadsworth,(btw Kerri, if your reading this, I love her Name.) and the other is Mr Thomas Cresswell. AudreyRose decides to do something, most would consider un-lady like of the time period and her status in society. That something turns out to be a medical examiner of sorts. She decides to study the science with her Uncle because she lost her Mum very young. So during her studies, she happens to met her Uncle intern Mr Thomas Cresswell. She learns through her Uncle and Thomas of the Jack the Ripper Murders After Audrey is invited to help in the case, all hell pretty much breaks lose. All of the clues point to people close to her. She is also slowly starting to like Thomas as more then a friend,which doesn’t help matters either. Why? because lets be real who wants to fall in love or semi love while investigating famous murder. As time goes on, Audrey Rose becomes closer to everyone possibly involved in the murder. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars, because it is written so well. The best way to describe the story is that it wants you to look at the murders as being a puzzle for a crime solving like a person in Forensic's would study a murder .I hope all of that makes sense but before I continue I also would like to point out that this book discusses in some detail Forensic science study of dead bodies. It is the process of a Doctor or Scientist receiving a dead body to study its organs as well as sometimes studying murders. But back in Victorian days it was Called being a Cadaver which was a way for doctors or scientist to get free bodies to study what cause a person death as well or use certain body parts . While this is discuss in the book, it is not extremely detailed to point of making someone feel sick. I am a sensitive person to these types of things and this detailed did not bother me. Now on to more details about the story itself. This story is not your standard Murder mystery in the sense that its all about the murder. This book is also about Audrey Rose becoming her own person. I also honestly couldn’t believe how funny this book was, mainly from Thomas’s point of view. Thomas tends to be the one who keeps Audrey Rose on her toes and really helps to get her to think about everything. He loves the fact that she is so well educated compare to most girls of her position and the age. He tends to use humorous flirty banter towards her whenever they are together. I can’t say enough about how much I love Thomas in this book. I also loved the cover on this book. This cover which is shown above of a woman holding a knife while wearing Steampunk victorian clothing is bloody beautiful, intriguing and inviting .I honestly can’t wait to start the next book in the series which is Hunting Prince Dracula, and it comes out in September 2017 for hardcover sell.

Stalking Jack the Ripper
Stalking Jack the Ripper is set in 1888 based on the real-life murders of the victims in Whitechapel, UK. This book is a murder mystery with our main character, Audrey Rose, investigating the murders by using forensic science with her uncle and a very lovely arrogant main protagonist Thomas. This novel is a historical YA and probably suitable for 15 and above. The novel itself is packed full of gorey type descriptions and doesn't fall short of any shock factor. If you're a little squeamish then this might not be the book for you. Afterall, these murders really happened and Kerri only presents them as so. It's incredibly well written with beautiful prose and you immediately care for the characters. The novel is uniquely dark and mysterious all with a fantastic "proper" romance between Audrey and Thomas. Thomas Cresswell is one of my new favourite book boyfriends. With the time period, it really depicts the formality of dating and courtship which I found to be an extremely lovely touch. It's lovely to see a real gentleman, even if he does break the rules a little and comes across as arrogant. But his arrogance is so attractive in that he's not ashamed to express how he feels to Audrey. It's super cute. The plot is driven by the continuous murders and the mystery surrounding who Jack really is. At no point did I pin who Jack actually was (Of course, this part is fictional, I believe, as the really JtR is still unknown). The ending and the motive behind the real killer's action were so brilliantly planned out. Kerri couldn't have come up with a more grotesque, wildly imaginative ending. It was truly shocking and I simply had no idea. And also, go Thomas! He's a real hero. The book includes some photographs throughout the novel to show what life was really like during 1800's. They are quite fascinating to look at and I feel they added a realistic edge to this story. There is one picture of a hand towards the end of the book that is downright creepy. Urgh. But still, it was great to see what kind of reality people were facing during that time period. The time period was so fantastically captured, from the clothing, behaviours, courtship. Everything was meticulously planned and it created such authenticity. You really feel the "grunge" of forensic science in this time period. Even though we do see Audrey sterilizing equipment, you can still imagine that lab in the dark with gas lamps and candles, no real hygiene and working with a woman, which is frowned upon. The atmosphere was simply great and I was hooked all of the way through. I read the novel in just over a day. I was so excited that I purchased Hunting Prince Dracula when I was 50 pages from the end. I cannot wait to read the next installment and I hope there are many more adventures of Audrey and Thomas to come. Would recommend to: - Readers over 15. - Those who enjoy horror/thriller and murder mystery. - Those who read YA Pros: - Atmosphere and setting is built well and is authentic - The murders aren't witnessed but are talked about in professional detail *squeamish trigger* - Realistic loveable characters - Authentic representation of the "view of women" during those times. - Lovely romantic subplot - Didn't guess who Jack really was. - Inventory of information at the back of the novel - Images of the life back in the 1800's throughout Cons: - There is a period where there aren't any murders and there is more story building with suspicion. - Took forever for the romance between Audrey and Thomas to develop into a kiss. - Can be explicit in terms of discussing the murders and wounds (not that I minded!) Overall, was a fantastic enjoyable read and I am so excited for the next book to fall through my letterbox. Thank you Kerri for such a unique read. I loved it.
