I have always been interested in the Jack the Ripper lore. If you feel the same, Stalking Jack the Ripper does not disappoint. The book follows Audrey Rose Wadsworth in Victorian-era England as she hunts Jack the Ripper. Audrey is not the typical Victorian lady. She has a passion for forensic medicine and doesn’t mind the sight of corpses. Maniscalco does a fantastic job of presenting the widely known case details while putting her own spin on it and even adding a few details.
From J.V.'s list on fantasy that have unconventional elements.

This book made me feel like I was actually alongside…

Her search for clues leads her frighteningly closer to home. Victorian London. Foggy dark streets. A teenage sleuth bucking convention and also… a bit of…
From Sedonia's list on YA thrillers with fearless brilliant teen sleuths.
