Stalking Jack the Ripper adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

Booktrack editions are essentially a new genre of digital storytelling entertainment. Music and ambient audio are added to complement and enhance the audiobook experience. It is a synchronized movie-style soundtrack that complements the narration of existing audiobooks; the tempo and rhythm of the score harmonize with action, dialogue and the characters' emotional arcs.

Instant number one New York Times best-seller

A deliciously creepy horror novel with a story line inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion...

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 close to her own sheltered world.

The story's shocking twists and turns, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this number one New York Times best-selling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Audrey Rose Wadsworth prefers breeches to ball gowns, autopsies to afternoon tea, and scalpels to knitting needles. Though her father, Lord Edmund, has forbidden it, Audrey covertly studies forensic medicine...while 'the Ripper' remains two steps ahead, lurking where Audrey least expects....Maniscalco's portrayal of scientific invention in a newly industrial era will serve as a fine first foray into Victorian classics." (Booklist)

"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)

"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. [A] gruesome but engrossing story." (Publishers Weekly)

I read this book about a year ago, it keeps getting better. I love all the details put in to this. I have always been intrigued with forensic science and all the work put into this story absolutely paid off and is mich appreciated.

Always a good read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. From the character development in our protagonist Audrey Rose, to even the development and subtle hint at out villainous Jack the Ripper. There's such a tapestry of mystery, gore, and some tantalising romance to keep your blood pumping and you wanting more!
I suspected the person who ended up as the Ripper all along, but the book made me second guess my suspicions all the long. And I LOVE the little electrifying twist in the end there, which sealed our Ripper's motive for his heinous crimes.

Such a delectable, enGROSSING tale that leaves your heart pounding (or stolen)!

I absolutely loved this novel! It was filled with twists and turns, and a phenomenally female protagonist. The ending plot twists was nothing I expected. As a reader of novels similar to this I have to say this one might be the best. With the added romance and banter of Audrey Rose and Thomas this story really came to life and was absolutely astonishing to visualize in my mind. The romance was like non other I have read in novels similar to this. It was added with great calculations and perfectly timed and execution extremely well. It was not thrown in for glee but for purpose and made the story that much more enjoyable. So a huge thank you to the author for an outrageous amazing story I will never forget.

Stalking Jack the Ripper a phenomenal novel

The story was interesting. It is not a horror story, but rather a view into forensics at the time but written in an historical setting. Occasionally, the foray into details of settings and emotions got a little wordy, but overall a good story.
The thing I disliked the most was that the characters ridiculed the Christian faith 2 or 3 times. I found that hurtful and offensive.....the story would have suffered none if those few sentences were not there.

Interesting, but...

I LOVED this novel! The narration is wonderful! It took me a few chapters to get into the music, but I really loved it. It took the story to the next level, for me personally. Now I wonder why all books aren't scored like this!

This book is so well written. Kerri Maniscalco is truly a literally wunderkin and I will be furiously purchasing the rest of her catalog today. Word building: 10/10. Plot: 10/10. Narration: 10/10. This book has everything I love - historical fiction, romance, suspense, murder! I don't know what else you could want from a novel!

I'll be recommending this to everyone who will listen!

Such a fantastic story!

It's a shame, really. I like the overall idea, with its little seasoning of 'steampunk' and paranormal in a historical mystery; S. Holmes with a twist. However, it was very predictable (at least to me) and the romance is so superfluous that I would argue that if you omitted it almost nothing in the story would really change. Somehow being conceited and egotistical is being accepted as charming, which it's not, and there is zero growth in their relationship. Flat, bland, stagnate, one note, etc. Our lead's wardrobe has more development and significance than the romance. Idk if the series gets better, but I'm not sold on finding out. Once again, shame.

I've never eye-rolled at a book this much

Took me a minute to get a feel for the characters but once I understood, I was HOOKED! I enjoyed the mystery, the characters and the conclusion. The only reason I removed one star was the background music. This is a warning to anyone picking a book with Booktrack, I was unaware it would be like having an orchestra playing in the background at all times. This was distracting to me. Lesson learned: Just because it cost more doesn't make it better.

Took a minute

The story overall was good and very well told - it's the music in the background that I really hated. It takes away from the story and at times you can't hear the narrator as well. I ended up returning my copy and borrowing a regular audio copy from the library (plus its free.) But then again - Book Track is not for everyone.

Hated the Music - Very Distracting

It has a great story, I wasn’t a fan of the romance parts just because I’m not a fan of romance but it was a great ending

I was shocked
