Book cover of The Werewolf of Whitechapel

Book description

Murder, monsters…and a disreputable Victorian lady’s maid.

A killer stalks the grimy streets of Whitechapel—but Scotland Yard seems determined to turn a blind eye. With one look at her best friend's corpse, Liz Sharp already knows the truth: the killer is a werewolf.

No one important will hold a werewolf…

Why read it?

1 author picked The Werewolf of Whitechapel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love how Rowntree riffs on real history while keeping the tone thrilling and funny. The "Miss Sharp’s Monsters" series is set in the Bete Epoque (a late Victorian Europe ruled by monsters), and Liz Sharp is a lovably reckless amnesiac bodyguard to an English princess.

I would absolutely want Liz on my side if our tea party were attacked. I’d pour the tea and let her take care of the monsters.

From Christina's list on gaslamp heroines with tea and adventures.
