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. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels Stalking Jack the Ripper, Hunting Prince Dracula, and Escaping From Houdini.
*"A marvelous yet somewhat gruesome mystery...an unexpected
twist makes the ending worth the wait. A must-have."---School
Library Journal (*starred review*)---
Praise for the #1 New York Times bestselling
seriesStalking Jack the RipperHunting Prince DraculaEscaping From
Houdini---
"Audrey is a young woman eager to use her brains and willing to
flaunt society's rules....This mystery pays homage to classics like
Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [and] will
satisfy those readers looking for historical mystery, a witty
heroine, and a little romance."
---School Library Connection---
"Audrey Rose is a witty, resourceful feminist who refuses to bow to
Victorian-era gender norms. This dark, gothic landscape is peopled
with nuanced, diverse characters who keep readers enthralled. A
gripping mystery with a compelling heroine and just the right touch
of romance." --- Kirkus Reviews---
"Every sentence of this novel drips with decadence. The settings
and Midnight Carnival performances are lush yet dangerous,
beautiful yet terrifying. It was easy to understand just how Audrey
Rose comes to be so enthralled with the Midnight Carnival and the
performers because, as readers, we're put under the same exact
spell.... Masterfully crafted."--- Hypable---
"Kerri Maniscalco once again combines adventure, romance, murder
and Victorian manners into an intoxicating cocktail that brings the
story of this tenacious young forensic scientist to a satisfying
conclusion."--Knoxville News Sentinel
"Maniscalco has created a serious, sharp-minded, and
forward-thinking protagonist in Audrey Rose, whose fearlessness
will endear her to readers looking for an engaging historical
thriller. Abundant red herrings and a dash of romance round out
this gruesome but engrossing story."
--- Publisher's Weekly---
"There are plenty of suspects and red herrings as well as tense
escalations....A scenic, twisty mystery."--- Kirkus
Reviews---
