Synopsis
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.
Review
This was book was an absolute pleasure to read. I loved and devoured this book. For years Jack the Ripper has fascinated me from the complex murders to who committed the crime. I loved the twists and turns. Yes, the author took some historical liberties with her story, but I did not mind. I enjoyed being emerced into the world of Victorian London. Audrey Rose is truly a woman out of her time. She would be hailed these days as a genius, but alas she was born in a different time. She is a smart sassy heroine that captures our souls and refuses to let go. Thomas Cresswell is amazing, a Sherlock Holmes type young man. I loved the dynamic between the two young medical students. If you're looking for a good thrilling read, then pick up this amazing debut novel. Give it a go, you won't be sorry.
Now bring on book two. I need this now
