Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a semi-haunted house outside New York City, where her fascination with gothic settings began. In her spare time she reads everything she can get her hands on, cooks all kinds of food with her family and friends, and drinks entirely too much tea while discussing life's finer points with her cats. Her first novel in this series, Stalking Jack the Ripper, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
*This audiobook has everything: a true-life tale that has
intrigued readers for 100-plus years, a young woman who balks at
the constraints put upon women during the Victorian era, a
marvelous yet somewhat gruesome mystery, and a narrator who brings
you down into Spitalfields as Jack the Ripper earns his name. A
must-have.--School Library Journal *starred review*
