Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a semi-haunted house outside New York City, where her fascination with gothic settings began. In her spare time she reads everything she can get her hands on, cooks all kinds of food with her family and friends, and drinks entirely too much tea while discussing life's finer points with her cats. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels Stalking Jack the Ripper, Hunting Prince Dracula, and Escaping From Houdini.
*"This audiobook has everything: a true-life tale that has
intrigued readers for 100-plus years, a young woman who balks at
the constraints put upon women during the Victorian era, a
marvelous yet somewhat gruesome mystery, and a narrator who brings
you down into Spitalfields as Jack the Ripper earns his name. A
must-have."--School Library Journal *starred review*
"An entertaining debut full of twists and turns, perfect for fans
of historical fiction and mystery."
--School Library Journal
"Audrey is a young woman eager to use her brains and willing to
flaunt society's rules....This mystery pays homage to classics like
Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [and] will
satisfy those readers looking for historical mystery, a witty
heroine, and a little romance."
--School Library Connection
"Audrey Rose is a smart, fearless, and progressive heroine. Plenty
of red herrings, a conspicuous absence of blood, and a developing
romance make this a must-read."--School Library Journal
"Combining historical fiction, romance, forensics, a feisty
heroine, a swiftpaced plot, gobs of murders, and historical
illustrations, Maniscalco pulls in the reader for a wonderfully
bloody romantic romp."--Booklist
"Maniscalco has created a serious, sharp-minded, and
forward-thinking protagonist in Audrey Rose, whose fearlessness
will endear her to readers looking for an engaging historical
thriller. Abundant red herrings and a dash of romance round out
this gruesome but engrossing story."
--Publishers Weekly
"Maniscalco's portrayal of scientific invention in a newly
industrial era will serve as a fine first foray into Victorian
classics."
--Booklist
"Readers of the previous mystery will be thrilled to have more of
this likable duo. [A] delightful romp into an 1888 Gothic mystery
with a hint of romance."--School Library Connection
"There are plenty of suspects and red herrings as well as tense
escalations....A scenic, twisty mystery."--Kirkus Reviews
