For those interested in historical fiction, specifically Victorian England-era, you might like this story, despite the fact that it is targeted to teens. Sometimes teen stories like this are pretty good. This story is especially good if you are interested in the famous Jack the Ripper history
Summary
-Audrey Rose Wadsworth is not your typical Victorian society girl. Born in to money because of her father being a lord, she has to appear like your normal society girl-afternoon teas and luncheons, etiquette lessons from her Aunt Amelia, fittings and shopping for new dresses and shoes, etc. But she leads a secret life. Her uncle is a forensic scientist and she harbors the same interest in forensic science and medicine, despite everyone's beliefs that a woman's place is running a good household. She will often sneak away to her uncle's laboratory to study the dead-perfecting her autopsy techniques, studying the cause of death, testing theories about cause of death and more. Her work will drag her into the case of the legendary Jack the Ripper, a Victorian England-era serial killer with no known motive who stalked the East End London neighborhood of Whitechapel, killing prostitutes. Together with medical student Thomas Cresswell and her uncle, these three, along with Scotland Yard, will attempt to unmask this mysterious killer.
I'm a girl born in the wrong decade. I belong in the 1960s or the 1970s in my opinion. I bleed tie dye, my theme music is anything 1960s rock or 1970s rock or metal. I'm a hippie through and through. But also a hippie who loves old metal music. I believe that violence never solves anything, so why resort to it to solve problems? With all the wars the world has seen, there should be a clue somewhere in there!
