Plot: 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?
Why I Need This Book: So I am a huge fan of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. I am so sad that this is the last book but man I can’t to see what’s going to happen. I did what to reread the series before it ended up but I might try to read the last one before this one comes out. I am very interested to see what is going to happen to Audrey Rose and Thomas in this book. Plus I love the location a lot. Very excited!
Have you gotten to read this early? If so what are your thoughts on it? If not, are you guys interested in picking this up? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. I seriously can’t wait for them to come out!

I’m so excited for this too! I have this preordered and can’t wait for it to come in. I’m thinking I’m going to reread the first three books before I start this one, just so I can stay in the world a little longer.

Yeah I feel like rereading the other books to refresh. Esp the last one, I got the arc of it and wanted to pick it up because I know the endings are different. True, I’m not ready for it to be over.
