Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine
My pick for this week:
published September 20th by Jimmy Patterson
add to your Goodreads shelf // pre-order from Book Depo // or Amazon
Why?
I love historical fiction including historical fiction that gives us possibilities, no matter how fantastical or fictional, about unknown or unsolved past events/crimes. I also really like historical fiction with female characters who lead their lives 'against society's expectations'/
I like the sound of this book's main character, the historical setting, the timing and that it's a 'Gothic horror' mystery, as well.
That's my pick for this week, what's yours? Tell me in the comments and/or link me to your own post!
STALKING JACK THE RIPPER by Kerri Maniscalco
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.
