Escaping From Houdini: Stalking Jack the Ripper
Autor Kerri Maniscalcoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2018
Audrey Rose Wadsworth and her partner-in-crime-investigation, Thomas Cresswell, are en route to New York to help solve another blood-soaked mystery. Embarking on a week-long voyage across the Atlantic on the opulent RMSEtruria, they're delighted to discover a traveling troupe of circus performers, fortune tellers, and a certain charismatic young escape artist entertaining the first-class passengers nightly.
But then, privileged young women begin to go missing without explanation, and a series of brutal slayings shocks the entire ship. The disturbing influence of the Moonlight Carnival pervades the decks as the murders grow ever more freakish, with nowhere to escape except the unforgiving sea. It's up to Audrey Rose and Thomas to piece together the gruesome investigation as even more passengers die before reaching their destination. But with clues to the next victim pointing to someone she loves, can Audrey Rose unravel the mystery before the killer's horrifying finale?

Firru . a dat nota:
I think the only thing that bothered me slightly about Escaping from Houdini was that the PTSD representation was pulled back a little. It is still present in underlying conversations and thoughts but after everything that Audrey Rose has been through, most of it with no discussions, I don’t think it should have all but disappeared from the book. Overall, I am so glad to say that Escaping from Houdini met all of my expectations. It quite literally blew my socks off and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to read it. It was such a spectacular story and the showcasing of the authors writing is so clear. Gosh, I could rave about these books for days. I just think everyone should give these a try, even if you aren’t particularly interested in historical fiction or mystery. Kerri Maniscalco creates the perfect harmony between the two that anyone would love.
