If you follow my blog, you’ll realize that I did not post a waiting on wednesday last week. I decided that it would be a biweekly (every 2 weeks) post instead since there are only so many books I can anticipate! I will of course post substitute these posts with others such as tags and challenges and the like!
My most anticipated book of the week is:
Capturing the Devil
Stalking Jack the Ripper #4
by Kerri Maniscalco
published on 10 September 2019
In the shocking finale to the bestselling series that began with Stalking Jack the Ripper, Audrey Rose and Thomas are on the hunt for the depraved, elusive killer known as the White City Devil. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse has them fighting to stay one step ahead of the brilliant serial killer—or see their fateful romance cut short by unspeakable tragedy.
Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell have landed in America, a bold, brash land unlike the genteel streets of London they knew. But like London, the city of Chicago hides its dark secrets well. When the two attend the spectacular World’s Fair, they find the once-in-a-lifetime event tainted with reports of missing people and unsolved murders.
Determined to help, Audrey Rose and Thomas begin their investigations, only to find themselves facing a serial killer unlike any they’ve heard of before. Identifying him is one thing, but capturing him—and getting dangerously lost in the infamous Murder Hotel he constructed as a terrifying torture device—is another.
Will Audrey Rose and Thomas see their last mystery to the end—together and in love—or will their fortunes finally run out when their most depraved adversary makes one final, devastating kill?
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! So I have to put out a disclaimer because I’ve only read the first book in full and browsed the 2nd and 3rd books. BUT I am still extremely excited for Book 4 because I am super invested in the main pairing aka Cressworth (the ship name for Audrey Rose and Thomas). They are such a good couple and they’ve been through so much so I can’t wait to read about their Happily Ever After (I hope they get it at least!)
When this book is out, I expect that I will try to read the series again and hopefully get to book 2 and 3. Even if I don’t, I would still read book 4 for closure. As someone who doesn’t like mystery novels much, I am hoping so desperately that I enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed the first one! Super excited for September already!
