Who isn't interested in the story of Jack the Ripper? All of London was terrified during the time period between August and November 1888. Five, possibly six, women were brutally murdered near the Whitechapel area in London, and not one person noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Rory Deveaux has decided to study at a school in London called Wexford. Her parents have been transferred to Bristol. She and her parents are originally from New Orleans, and life in London is quite a change for Rory. She hasn't been at her new school for very long before a murder occurs. This murder is almost exactly like the one that happened on the very spot in 1888 - and the victim has the same surname as the first "Ripper" victim. Even though there are cameras every where near the murder site, why can't the murderer be seen?
All of London now knows the dates and the times that the next murders will occur. Who will be next? How can the Ripper be stopped?
Rory notices a strange man around her school's campus. Why can't other people see him? What is the strange power that Rory realizes she has? Will this power put her life in danger?
This is the first Rosie book that I have read from the 2015-2016 list. I can already tell it will be a favorite. This book will keep you on the edge of your couch -so much so that I believe we had better get the other two in the set ordered.
