Stalking Jack the Ripper

I bought this because everyone agreed it was a must read. Unpopular opinion: I did not enjoy it one bit.
From the first page is realized that this was not a book for the faint of heart or those who have an over active imagination that could get a bit squeamish about the narrative.
Do not get me wrong the twists and turns were magnificent to read and I would have loved the story if it wasn't so.....gross...no maybe detailed is the correct word.

I would recommend it to people who enjoy gore and can handle all the detail.

I was so lucky to have received an advanced copy through a Goodreads giveaway-thank you!!

I've read all of Lisa Scottoline's books and I can say she did NOT disappoint in this one!! I loved it!

Had I not had a needy 1 year old I would have finished it in a couple of days but alas I had to read at night...Moms yall can relate! :-)

The best thing is that she allows your imagination to run wild with "who did its" and so forth and when you think you have figured it out she still shocks you. Awesome book!!

This is one of my most favourite books. I’ve recommended it to friends and family to read, I’ve even bought it as presents for them. I loved it. It’s one of those books that you can become completely immersed in. I really empathised with the hardships, bravery and courage of the characters. This was the first Kristin Hannah novel I read, and I’m so glad I picked it up (yet another of my choices based purely on the cover!). I’ve never been a big war novel fan, but this caught my imagination from the outset. Well worth reading!!

I love that feeling when I play a great game for the first time, and it sets off my imagination spinning, I start thinking of all the different versions of this game I could create. I take this small part of this game and add a part of that game, and then do something wildly different from anything else with this part. I always try to find a way to jot it down in my phone, and always hope to come back to it later when I have time to create something.... I just love that moment so much.
