À propos de cet audio
Presented by James Patterson's new children's imprint, this deliciously creepy horror novel has a storyline inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion.
Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life.
Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world.
The story's shocking twists and turns will make this dazzling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I am i love with this book
I liked how they described the dead bodies perfectly enough for me to be so happy the rest of the day. What I disliked was that it was a story with not much romance im more that type of person, but because of the gore I would give the story a 5 star for sure.

A diffrerent take on a historical murder mystery
Plot
Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth, a daughter of an overprotective Lord Edmund with a life of wealth and privilege, stretched out before her, leads a forbidden secret life between the social teas and silk dress fittings. Audrey often slips away to her uncle’s laboratory against her rigid father’s wishes and society’s expectations to study the grim and gruesome practices of forensic medicine, something that was unusual for a 19th-century woman. When a murderer causes panic in the city, she's going to put her scientific knowledge and curious wit to test in order to find out who the killer called Jack The Ripper is, and save her family in the process.
Writing
I’ve never really been interested in historical fictions or murder mystery but I decided to give this book a try. I admit that I started actually caring about this book only when I was 120 or so pages in, but I'm glad I went through it all because the second half of the story is a different story. The writing suffers from what I like to call the spin-cycle effect: dull moments followed by adrenaline-filled scenes and twists. It sort of destabilizes and distracts the reader. I wasn't completely in it for the most part but, when I was, it was worthy. The dialogues are okay but not memorable and a tad bit too long . I liked what I was reading when I was reading it, but it didn't leave me stunned, to be precise.
Character Development
Thomas Cresswell is basically Sherlock(who can flirt while solving crimes). He's just the right amount of flirtatious and cocky without being arrogant or cheesy. The guy doesn't know the first thing about being subtle but his arrogance and wit make him amusing. The banter between the ML's reminded me so much of Sherlock and Watson(minus the flirting) that I swear every time Thomas addressed Audrey as "Wadsworth" I swooned. I think he was the best developed character in this book, if not a little bit cliche.
Audrey Rose's position as a young woman in the Victorian era was an important aspect of the story as well. As a proper high society female, she is constantly underestimated and disrespected but she does not let circumstances limit her. She constantly questions why she, as a female, isn't thought to be as capable as her male counterparts and as such, always strives to prove said counterparts wrong. This isn't necessarily uncommon in YA, but this case was unique because it was a situation of the female outwitting her opponents not in a battle or political sense, but rather in terms of her intelligence, scientifically. Her fight to be able to be educated in her Uncle's classroom shows how important knowledge is to her and she proves, time and time again, that it is her most lethal weapon.
Overall this was a good story, I'm debating weather or not to try the next book in the series but considering the last three pages warmed my heart while the previous three hundred chilled my bones I'll consider it down the road.
