Me ha parecido un libro con una temática bastante inusual.
Ambientada en Londres en la época de Jack el Destripador, nuestra protagonista Audrey Rose es fuera de lo común.
Una señorita adelantada a su tiempo, que realmente piensa que puede hacer lo mismo que un hombre, incluso estudiar medicina forense, algo que le apasiona. Aunque sería todo un escandalo que se descubriese.
Entonces, su familia se ve envuelta en las sospechas de Jack el destripador y tiene que demostrar su inocencia.
Tiene su interés amoroso, que es como Sherlock, muy inteligente pero con la empatía social de una cucharilla.
Y aunque sospeche de el al principio, jamás hubiera esperado ese final.
Chapó!

This was so much fun! I don't think it's as polished or as interesting as Maniscalco's later work in Kingdom of the Wicked, but as a debut, it's pretty fucking neat!
It might be because it's a mystery and the audiobook is done by Nicola Barber, but it reminded me of the first Jackaby book: extremely fun an interesting, if a bit juvenile in scope, which isn't necessarily an issue.
My only issue, really, was that I guessed the culprit damn near immediately. That isn't necessarily the worst thing, but the book seemed so intent on insisting, "No, really, it's the red herring, I promise!" when I had known it was, in fact, not the red herring the actual entire time.
But that said, this was a really fun, breezy read and I'd happily read the sequel sometime to follow these characters through another case!

I wasn't sure I'd like this when I first saw it because it's historical fiction, but I was wrong.

The book is pretty slow the pick up and I will say the beginning is the worst part because of how cringey the dialogue is, but the ending is so worth it. If this isn't a genre youre typically into, prob wouldn't be the best place to start because of the kinda rough beginning, but I would still recommend it.
