Sinossi
È stata cresciuta per essere la perfetta dama dell'alta società vittoriana, ma Audrey Rose Wadsworth vede il proprio futuro in modo molto diverso. Dopo aver perso l'amatissima madre, è decisa a comprendere la natura della morte e i suoi meccanismi. Così abbandona l'ago da ricamo per impugnare un bisturi da autopsia, e in segreto inizia a studiare Medicina legale. Presto viene coinvolta nelle indagini sull'assassino seriale noto come Jack lo Squartatore e, con orrore, si rende conto che la ricerca di indizi la porta molto più vicina al suo mondo ovattato di quanto avrebbe mai creduto possibile. Ispirato agli efferati crimini irrisolti che hanno insanguinato la Londra di fine Ottocento, il romanzo d'esordio di Kerri Maniscalco tesse un racconto ricco di atmosfera che intreccia bellezza e oscurità, in cui una ragazza vittoriana molto moderna scopre che non sempre i segreti che vengono sepolti lo rimangono per sempre.

If you opened up a PDF of this book and control-F searched it for the phrase “kind of girl,” your computer would explode. Or suddenly bypass decades of hypothesized technological progress and instantly become cognizant and emotional, developing the ability to feel just so it could ask you, personall Leggi tutto
Two words. Thomas Cresswell. Alright, of course there will be more words, I just needed to give you a proper motivation to grab this extraordinary book , and an obnoxiously yet damnably brilliant British boy seemed like a good idea. Now that I have your attention, let's move on, shall we? “One t

This is the first book I've really enjoyed reading after my horrid book slump and I LOVED it! I need more of Kerri's writing in my life, especially with her amazing characters like bloody Jack ;)

"Lord help the girl he set those eyes for good. His boyish vulnerability was a weapon, powerful and disarming. I was thankful I wasn't the the kind of girl to lose my mind over a handsome face." I originally gave this two stars, but the more I thought about it, the more pissed off I felt. Stalkin
4.45/5 ⭐ Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 Quick statement: the title feels both puerile and scary at the same time and I don’t know what do make out of this information. But still. Aren’t y’all living for the macabre? Because I kind of do sometimes and it actually disturbs me more than Leggi tutto
”Fear is a hungry beast. The more you feed it, the more it grows.” Okay, let’s start this review with a little bit of background knowledge I gathered before I read the actual book and take it from there. ;-) As always I got aware of “Stalking Jack the Ripper” because so many of my friends on here rea Leggi tutto
I am no longer my own bitch, I am Thomas Cresswells bitch. This book makes me want to dress in corsests and pretty dresses and look for a murderer with my hot, flirty, academic rival. Thomas Cresswell was the star of this book, there is no contender. And no, I do not care that this book was a murder i Leggi tutto
