Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco

Capturing the Devil (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #4)

by Kerri Maniscalco

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?

Star Rating: —> 4 Stars

I think I would’ve rated this one a 3.5 were it not my love for Thomas Cresswell and Audrey Rose Wadsworth. I’ve been on this journey with them through all 4 novels and this one was my least favorite. But how could I not give the finale that extra .5 stars? I had a bit of trouble staying focused & getting through it... but I’m not sure if that’s due to me being sick, or having an ARC i had to read smack dab in the middle of my reading this or what. Anyway.

RTC, GR lovelies!
