Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper, 1)
Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life. Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine.
When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her back to her own sheltered world. The story's shocking twists and turns, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this dazzling, #1 New York Times bestselling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.

While I figured out the "whodunit" rather easily, the "why" was a bit of a surprise as I had a different theory.
For a teen novel I thought it was well written and developed and I enjoyed the author's take on the infamous Jack the Ripper and found her creative liberties to be well executed.
A fast and entertaining read; I will definitely be reading the next book in the series.
