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, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this dazzling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.

Reasons to read STALKING JACK THE RIPPER

1. The main character is awesome. She’s sassy, and she’s modern. She knows that women shouldn’t be confined in gender roles. She’s also pretty unorthodox as she secretly learns about forensics in her uncle’s basement. That’s pretty awesome.

2. This book involves a murder. I don’t know about you, but I find that incredibly cool. It’s sort of like a Sherlock and Watson mystery, but not exactly, which makes it even more interesting.

3. It’s based off Jack the Ripper murders. You can probably tell that from the title, but why not say it again? I’ve never read a Jack the Ripper retelling or novel, so this book has given me a lot of information about him. I’m pretty interested in doing some research myself on this serial killer.

Those are only a few reasons you should read this book, but I don’t want to spoil this book for anyone who hasn’t read it yet. If you want to read a bit more about why I loved this book, check out my review! What are you waiting for? Stalking Jack the Ripper comes out September 20th.
