    book_addict's book review was featured in Stalking Jack the Ripper.
    Amazing book! I wouldn't call it a horror novel (as said in the description^)... it just has elements of Gothic fiction in it since it takes place in the late 1800s and follows real, actual events that happened in history. For context, Jack the Ripper (also known as the Leather Apron and the Whitechapel Murderer) was an unidentified murderer (he was never caught) known for killing women in London in 1888. The book is mainly a mystery where Audrey Rose Wadsworth, who studies forensics under her uncle, and her uncle's (very) clever student, Thomas Cresswell, are present during the time the murders start and have to use their knowledge and clues from the murders that keep happening to find out who Jack the Ripper is. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the 3 other books in the series, so if you enjoy this one, I highly recommend finishing the others, which are also based on historical murders. I'm not a huge mystery person, but this series grabbed my attention with its many plot twists and anticipation of finding out the murderer at the end of each book. It's pretty difficult to guess the murderer correctly because the author is so clever at making her readers never even suspect the actual culprit! Happy reading!

    Hey welcome back! Happy almost birthday! 1. My favorite subject is generally history but this year I am loving health! 2. Science 🥴 but the chapter we are studying now, it was all about sound and acoustics and I dig that kind of stuff so I actually really like it! 3. The Miracle on 34th Street 4. Hmm, that's tough, I have a lot! But I have to pick putting up decorations and listening to Christmas music. Thanks for the questions!
