Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco is an historical fiction book that I am really excited about. I loved Stalking Jack the Ripper and enjoy books like this during the fall season. I have yet to read books 2 and 3, but I have heard nothing but praise for them. Hopefully I will get to all of them this fall. The concepts are so fantastic!
Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco
Title: Capturing the DevilAuthor: Kerri Maniscalco
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Young Adult
Publisher: JIMMY Paterson
Publication Date: September 10, 2019
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?
Book Quotes: Capturing the Devil
Beyond life, beyond death, my love for thee is eternal.
It is a sad truth that we do not live in a world where differences are accepted.
The world needed to be better. And if it wasn’t possible for it to be better, we, its inhabitants, needed to do better.
